Question
I'm trying to find the type of ivy this is. It grows all along walls on our campus at the University of Minnesota. It has red stems and blue berries that grow on it. The bigger leaves have about 3 points (I don't know what the points are called). Please help me identify the type of ivy this is.
Answer
Dear lyon304, your plant is Parthenocissus triscupidata (Bosty-ivy), a member of the grape family. It is frequently planted on campuses and within cities, where it climbs the side of the buildings by means of adhesive disks at the apex of the tendrils. Best wishes.
