Mrs. Hauck - When referring to Boston ivy, what do you mean by this statement: "Could cause damage to houses if removed to fast"?
ReplyDeleteT.Murray) What i am saying is if you are not careful removing boston ivy from a house or what ever it is on it could damage the wall or what ever it grew on. The reason is , is because te filaments grow into the brick of a house and when removed you could mess up the sie of the house.
