Ivy for fence?

I don't know but it's faster than most plants.

 

@Weedstoo The ivy is busy settling in and growing roots, I wouldn't expect a lot of action before next spring.
Unless the bramble was planted at the same time you can't compare them.

 

I've got a worse ivy problem than that, some I planted years ago, the variegated type and the wild green stuff.
It's reached a point where if I got rid of it the fence would go with it, so I mostly treat it as a hedge now and clip it back once a year.

It finds any small crack to grow through and lap fencing it seems to love because of all the cracks in it.

 

I made photos not far from where I live. Ivy working as a fence. When I first saw this from a distance, it seemed to be artificial . But nope, I walk there for the past 5 years, and it still looks good.

 

For a fast growing fence cover, consider growing Honeysuckle in several varieties.

 

If you want a hassle-free ivy for your fence, (removed) is the one.
