I am interested in using some Ivy around some trees and maybe even use it for Erosion Control around the perimeter of the RR--

The USDA shows that We reside in the Zone 7b, so...anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Ivy grows fast, and can be hard to control. It's not outstanding for erosion control. I'd suggest something else. If you must use ivy, get the smaller leafed variety, like EnglishIvy, and trim it back severely every few years.

Regards, Greg
