Parthenocissus tricuspidata, also known as Boston Ivy, Grape Ivy, Japanese Creeper, Japanese Ivy, and Woodbine, is a deciduous woody vine native to eastern Asia. It can grow up to 90 ft tall and attaches to surfaces using small branched tendrils tipped with sticky disks. Its leaves are palmately lobed with three lobes, occasionally unlobed or with five lobes, and turn red in the autumn. The inconspicuous greenish flowers grow in clusters and the fruit is a small dark blue grape. This plant is commonly grown as a climbing ornamental plant on buildings and can significantly reduce cooling costs by shading walls during the summer. It is popular with birds and can be cut back to within 3 ft of the base if required to rejuvenate the plant.
