Why You Should NEVER Buy English Ivy

Did you know that English ivy, still sold at big stores, is basically a tree-killing machine? A botanist showed how these vines strangle old-growth trees and called them a 'plague.' Ripping them off can actually hurt the tree more, so the trick is to cut the vines at the roots (hello, guerrilla gardening!). The wild part? Major retailers still sell this stuff, even though it can wreck your yard and even buildings. If you see it, rip it out and go for native plants instead! #Home #PlantWarning #InvasiveSpecies
