Fenway Park Boston Ivy

If you're a baseball fan and you've seen the Boston Red Sox play at Fenway Park then you will have seen this vine growing in the outfield. It's also the ivy of the Ivy League.

Fenway Park Boston ivy is a fast-growing deciduous vine of the grape family from eastern Asia. It has deeply toothed,  leaves that reach 8 inches high with three lobed or ovate leaflets that are yellow chartreuse in sunny spots and lime green in shady locations. It has excellent fall color. The vine climbs by attaching adhesive disks to surfaces but these disks are very damaging to wooden surfaces, shingles and masonry and tuck-pointing. The leaves often drop off before the leaf stalks, leaving an unusual pattern on the wall. This vine can spread aggressively and should be managed carefully near wild and natural areas.
