Ivy is a woody stem, with a stem length of 3-5M and many branches. The umbels are solitary or 2-7 terminal, yellow white or green white, the fruit is round and spherical, berry like, yellow or red. The flowering period is from May to August, and the fruit period is from September to November. The stem can be as long as 18 meters, the inflorescence is yellow green or the berry is purple black, the flowering period is June, and the fruit period is September October. The most obvious feature is the climbing ability of the mountain climbing tiger.

Morphological difference

This is the most intuitive resolution method.

Ivy

Ivy is a woody stem, with a stem length of 3-5M and many branches. It has air roots on the stem. Its delicate branches are soft and rusty and scaly. The leaves are leathery and alternate. The umbels are solitary or 2-7 terminal, yellow white or green white. The fruit is round, berry like, yellow or red. The flowering period is from May to August and the fruiting period is from September to November.

Parthenocissus

The shape of Parthenocissus is similar to that of wild grapevine. The cane can be as long as 18 meters. The cyme is often on the short branch between two leaves. It is not obvious in clusters. It is yellow green or berry purple black. It is mostly hermaphroditic and monoecious. The berry is small and spherical. When it is ripe, it is blue black and covered with white powder. The flowering period is June and the fruit period is September October. The most obvious feature is the climbing ability of the mountain climbing tiger.

Differences in habits

From their growing environment, we can also distinguish who is who.

Ivy

Ivy has a strong adaptability to the environment. It likes a relatively cold climate. It has a strong cold resistance and is not strict with the light requirements. It can grow there, usually in a humid environment on the back and shade.

Parthenocissus

It has strong adaptability and likes wet and overcast environment, but it is not afraid of strong light, cold, drought and barren. In winter, it can also maintain semi evergreen or Evergreen State in the south of warm temperate zone. It is resistant to repair and shear, and is afraid of water accumulation. Most of them grow in places with rich soil and will grow on buildings.

Distribution difference

The distribution of creeper and ivy is lower than the difference. Where can I see them and see their location?

Ivy

Ivy is native to Europe, Asia and North Africa, and it is distributed in Central China, East China, Southwest China, Gansu and Shaanxi.

Ivy

Parthenocissus is native to eastern Asia, Himalayas and North America. It is distributed in Henan, Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Guangxi, Guangdong, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Fujian.

Family and genus differences

morphological differences between ivy and creeper

Ivy

Ivy belongs to the plant kingdom, angiosperms, dicotyledons, Rosa, Umbelliferae, acanthopanaceae, pistilwood and ivy.

Parthenocissus

Parthenocissus is a large deciduous perennial woody Liana of the plant kingdom, angiosperms, dicotyledons, Rosa, grapevines, vinaceae, and Parthenocissus.

It can be seen from the differences in families and genera that ivy is an evergreen plant, while Parthenocissus is deciduous.
