What Ivy Is Growing On in Berkhamsted
Ivy cares far less about soil than most plants, so here the chalk with flint under a thin cap, on distinctly steep Chiltern ground matters mainly for how quickly it returns from the roots once cut. What it is climbing decides the method, and on large beech and other Chiltern hardwoods on sloping plots, many of them protected and most of them old that is usually the more important half of the answer.
