Dear All,
   Many years ago (1980 ?) I planted a Five Fingered Ivy near the
house on the side facing about NE. It has grown well but, as expected,Â
did not ever develop more than a faint hint of the scarlet fall leaf
coloration typical of this plant.
   A large willow east of the house was cut in (Aug. ?); 2019 so the
Ivy on the house was not shaded by this very large tree in 2020.
Recently leaves have developed some red coloration; not the brilliant
red of a full sun exposure but clearly different from previous years.
   On an unrelated matter this plant grows like a weed and has never
received any nourishment other than the odd Maple or Ash leaf missed by
raking. So I wonder if it fixes Nitrogen.
