You can see the remains of Ivy that had grown on this very old brick wall for so many years. It is really difficult to remove so I am training Passiflora, Constance Elliot through it, though it does prefer sending its new growth to the left and not the right!

A beautiful brick wall as a backdrop to your garden. Good luck removing the ivy on it.

Yes the cherry is very vivid this year Karen. I don't mind the dead Ivy stems, the birds enjoy it, I can hang feeders there for them. And could try some clems to grow through too.
Thank you Wildrose, I love the old rosy brick and the Ivy was so,heavy at the top, it's my wall too, so,I have to look after it..
I think that's Ipad photos sometimes Amy, they can post sideways or upside down for some reason..

Hi Janey, right way up for me. Lovely garden photo, brick walls are always a nice backdrop to ivy, passiflora, or any pretty climber etc. Cherry tree looks pretty with its’ autumn colour.

Hi Kate, that's good. Yes, I love my walls here, very dry at the bottom of the wall and a real sun trap in the summer..
Thanks Kate, the cherry is Snow Showers, full of white blossom in March and then these pretty coloured leaves in Autumn...

What a gorgeous Cherry! I’m trying to remember...I think when I did this with an Ivy it did come off easily after a couple of years.
