Is ivy destructive to buildings or is it a myth?
Question asked by: knowitall
Yes the way in which ivy grows can be very destructive to buildings.
It likes to connect or entwine itself and its roots can get anywhere.
They can therefore grow in cracks of buildings and force the material apart thus damaging the structural integrity of many buildings.
