About Russel Ray
Expertise
I can answer questions about water-wise landscaping, xeriscaping, and using native vegetation, cactus, and succulents to create a home paradise that won't increase your water bill.

Experience
My wise ol' grandmother got me started with cactus and succulents 42 years ago. The rest, as they say, is history.

Organizations
National Association of Certified Home Inspectors, Better Business Bureau of San Diego

Education/Credentials
After graduating from Texas A&M University, I started a plant-sitting business in Houston to take care of the house plants when people went on vacation. That went on for five years before I moved back to College Station and started several businesses, one of which was a landscaping business specializing in "dry" landscaping.

Awards and Honors
The privilege of working with people.

Landscaping & Design - Ivy Transplant


Expert: Russel Ray - 9/18/2007

Question
I want to transplant some of my friends Ivy to my property.  I have 4 questions on the subject:

1.  When is the best time of year to transplant?

2.  Are there any "tricks" to being succesful in transplanting?

3.  What is the actual procedure of transplanting the Ivy?

4.  Can Ivy grow in direct sunlight?

Thanks so much.

Ryan

Answer
Hey, Ryan.

The answer to all four of your questions would depend on the type of ivy, the difference in soil between his place and your place, and what area (city) of the country you are in. If you can take a picture an email it to me at russelraypc@aol.com, I can probably provide you a better answer. If you email me a picture, please also post a follow-up question here. Thanks.
