        A question of circumstance ...<\/span><\/h3>

        The different types of ivy?<\/span><\/h2>

        The growth habit of ivy varies according to variety. Some will produce long, slender stems with few branches, while others will produce stocky stems with many branches. Some have a spreading habit, while others are upright or erect.\u00a0Some form a hedgehog-like clump, while others form a carpet.\u00a0<\/span>Some form a thick carpet, while others form a relatively sparse carpet. Some tend to climb quickly, while others prefer to crawl...<\/span><\/p>

        In short, as you will have realised, it's not just the foliage that differentiates the different types of ivy. The habit is also a characteristic of each species or variety.<\/span><\/p>
