| 説明 | A plant rather than a tree but we wanted to include this stunning Boston ivy within this trail as it forms such an iconic part of the university landscape here on the Beyer Building. With its common name, it’s tempting to assume this ivy comes from North America but it is native to eastern Asia rather than Boston itself.The Boston name derives from it being used so widely there to cover brick walls and other hard surfaces of old university buildings or the ‘outfield walls’ at famous old baseball stadiums. Technically, Boston ivy is unrelated to true ivy and is a flowering plant in the grape family. It is also known by other names including Japanese creeper, grape ivy and woodbine. A woody, deciduous vine, Boston ivy can grow to 30 metres or more given support. It attaches itself by numerous small tendrils that have sticky disks at the end. The leaves (usually) have three points – hence it’s species name in Latin ‘tricuspidata.’ The colour of its foliage is what makes this plant so remarkable. On arrival at the university in autumn, you’ll catch its leaves turning a brilliant, fiery red. This is in dramatic contrast to the dense, dark glossy green leaves of summer time, forming the backdrop to many graduation photographsuom.treetrail.co.uk/#BostonIvyen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenocissus_tricuspidata |
