| Parthenocissus tricuspidata
Boston ivyAlternate and simple and broad ovate to obovate, the 4-8" leaves are 3-lobed with coarse serrations. The new growth is bronzy purple, changing to a glossy dark green. Young plants will often produce 3-parted leaves with stalked leaflets before they begin producing simple leaves. On established plantings, only simple leaves are seen. The simple leaves readily distinguish this species from Parthenocissus quinquefolia. The leaves of this species are highly regularly displayed on a wall presenting a very uniform surface and finer texture from a distance than those of Parthenocissus quinquefolia. |
