This is Boston Ivy which is not a true Ivy. It attaches itself with tiny sucker hands unlike the true Ivy's.

This is the base of my Ivy, it's on a gable wall.

Ivy gets a bad rap, only in unsound mortar and copings would it cause problems.
However I'm far from confident the mortar in my back wall is at all sound! My was maybe the ivy was holding the wall up. In any case we've got proper ivy rather than the rather pretty not-ivy you shiw
