When they reach something to climb on, they grow upwards using innumerable adventitious roots that sprout from the stems. After growing upward into sun, the plant changes it growth form, producing unlobed leaves and rigid stems that project from the framework. These fertile stems produce many small green flowers in compound umbels. The fruits are black berries (yellow in <em>H. helix<\/em> subsp. <em>poetarum<\/em>) that are generally dispersed by birds, sometimes to a great distance from the mother plant. Although a single ivy plant can carpet a ~0.1 hectare area or take over a tree, it is the bird-dispersed seed that account for most of the continuous spread of the plants.<\/p>\n<p>The various species of ivy are difficult to distinguish and they sometimes hybridize. Even in their home range, widespread cultivation of non-native species or cultivars make identification difficult. The most common species in cultivation on the West Coast are English ivy (<em>H. helix<\/em>), Irish ivy (<em>H. hibernica<\/em>) and Algerian ivy (<em>H. algeriensis, <\/em>synonym<em> H. canariensis<\/em>). They can be distinguished by the types of hairs on the underside of the leaves, as well as by their chromosome number. Nevertheless, because of confusion between the species, all three will be treated together.<\/p>\n<p>Ivies are popular ground covers in gardens, where they can dominate large areas with a weed resistant mat. Many cultivars have been developed over the years and some gardeners form collections of the various forms. As pot plants, they are often trained over frameworks into topiaries.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>W<\/strong><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">orldwide Distribution<\/span>:<\/strong> Ivies are widespread throughout Eurasia, northern Africa and the Canary Islands (<em>Hedera algeriana).<\/em> As adventives, ivies are widespread in forested temperate and warm temperate areas of the world. In the United States, ivies have been found as introductions in all western, all eastern and all southern states.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Official Control<\/span>:<\/strong> Ivies are listed as official weeds in Oregon and Washington. In California, some State Parks and other land management agencies have instituted ivy control in lands under their jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">California Distribution<\/span>:<\/strong>\u00a0 Aside from frequent usage in gardens, ivies are adventive in much of the state in the understory of forests. Ivies are only lacking in the hotter, drier areas.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">California Interceptions<\/span>:<\/strong>\u00a0 Ivies have been collected over 350 times in California, although many of these collections represent plants persisting from cultivation.<\/p>\n<p>The risk ivies would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Consequences of Introduction:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>1) Climate\/Host Interaction:<\/strong> Evaluate if the pest would have suitable hosts and climate to establish in California.<\/p>\n<p>Risk is <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>High (3)<\/strong><\/span> as the plant is naturalized in many localities in CA. It prefers the north where there are extensive forests and higher rainfall, but ivies have proved themselves capable of spreading under favorable conditions (e.g., along rivers and creeks) in many areas of California. In Washington, Irish ivy is more invasive than English ivy and much more invasive than Algerian ivy. However, this relationship may differ in other parts of the West Coast. English ivy may be more invasive in California.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Score: <span style=\"color: #008000;\">3<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; <strong>Low (1)<\/strong> Not likely to establish in California; or likely to establish in very limited areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; <strong>Medium (2)<\/strong> may be able to establish in a larger but limited part of California.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8211; <strong>High (3)<\/strong> likely to establish a widespread distribution in California.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Known Pest Host Range:<\/strong> Evaluate the host range of the pest.<\/p>\n<p>Risk is <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>High (3)<\/strong><\/span> as weeds do not require any one host, but grow wherever ecological conditions are favorable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Score: <span style=\"color: #008000;\">3<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; <strong>Low (1)<\/strong> has a very limited host range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; <strong>Medium (2)<\/strong> has a moderate host range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8211; <strong>High (3)<\/strong> has a wide host range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Pest Dispersal Potential:<\/strong> Evaluate the natural and artificial dispersal potential of the pest.<\/p>\n<p>Risk is <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Medium (2)<\/span>.<\/strong> The plants produce large vines that can dominate significant areas.

However, they are still spreading in shady forest and riparian habitats, as they are in OR &amp; WA.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Conclusion and Rating Justification: <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>These are very bad forest weeds. The magnitude of their planted and escaped populations preclude regional control and ensure their continued widespread distribution. Currently, classifying true ivies as noxious weeds would not significantly impact its current or future distribution, as they would continue to spread despite regulation. Many birds feed on ivy berries and can travel long distances from existing residential and naturalized sources.<\/p>\n<p>Similar invasive and widespread plants have been given a C rating. Only a small number of noxious weeds are C rated weeds; However, the California Food and Agriculture Code section 5004 states that \u201cIn determining\u00a0whether or not a species shall be designated a noxious weed for the\u00a0purposes of protecting silviculture or important native plant\u00a0species, the director shall not make that designation if the designation will be detrimental to agriculture.\u201d As ivies are largely weeds of forest areas and are mainstays of the nursery agricultural sector, they would fall under this stricture.<\/p>\n<p>Classifying <em>Hedera<\/em> spp. as noxious weeds would harm agriculture by preventing the sale of popular nursery plants. At this point in their invasion curve, newly planted ivies represent a very small contribution to the existing populations. Any regulation of this plant would have little or no consequence in limiting its invasiveness or reducing the costs of ivy management. Therefore, given the economic and horticultural importance, no rating is recommended for English ivy, Irish ivy and Algerian ivy at this time.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>References: <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Ackerfield J. &amp; J.
