If they're like most other ivy, just take some cuttings and transplant. I
won't ask why you want this particular foliage.

Ivy Fan, Since Poison Ivy is a non-native plant in Finland, I do not think
it would be a good idea to introduce what would be considered an 'exotic'
species, whether by seed, cutting or otherwise.

IvyFan,
Have you conisedered some form of wire fencing to keep trespassers out of
the hawthorns until they have properly grown together?

Poison ivy is plentiful here. Do you realize its effect is delayed and
varies from person to person. Some people are not bothered by poison ivy at
all. If it would grow in your climate most people would not recognize it.
When a rash appears the next day they probably would not realize what caused
it or where they came in contact with it. So it probably would be of little
help with trespassers and might limit your ability to use your own yard if
you react strongly to it.

> Poison ivy doesn't grow here naturally so...

So don't transplant a foreign species, especially not a weed.

String barbed wire and grow your bushes up around it. Growing poison ivy
would probably get you arrested. daveA

Do you have Japanese Barberry bushes (Berberis thunbergii) there? They
are thorny and can be shaped and are quite nice looking, especially with
the red berries. It is used to keep all manner of animals out. I had
them along a property line some years ago and were trimmed to about 3'
tall and 2' wide. They formed a continuous barrier along the property line.

Please find another alternative. Poison ivy is a very nasty plant. As
another poster stated, not everyone is effected and there is a delay so
it will not be effective in keeping people out.

When I moved into my current house, I had a 1/2 acre backyard covered
with poison ivy. It took me 3 years of constant cutting, pulling and
spraying to get it under control. I still spend several days each
summer looking for and spraying suckers rising from the ground.
