virginia creeper

What? I want more virginia creeper? Yes, for a beautiful old fallen tree far away from the original vine, on a hill I'm trying to reclaim from the buckthorn.

I accidently pulled up a 3 foot piece of root with many leaflets. It's sitting in plastic bag right now.

I thought of sticking right in the ground. Even if that would work, I might want it in more than one place and I wouldn't get around to watering it every day. Thought I might want some cuttings that are better rooted.

Thanks a lot.

If only you lived closer to me. There's a whole mess of it growing along the woods in my back yard, and it's creeping into my garden. I'd love to get rid of all of it, since I'm one of the "lucky" ones who are allergic to it. The worst rash EVER!

If you're willing to send me some postage, I'll dig up several by roots for you. I've been anxiously waiting for my son to come spray all of it with brush killer.

Hadn't checked this formum in a few days. Thanks, Becky Jean. Has he killed it yet?

No, you're lucky he's so slow at getting work done for Mama:)! I have gotten you some nice bare root plants over the weekend. Do you have anything you'd like to trade instead of just doing postage?
