East Renfrewshire
The climbing evergreen Ivy (Hedera helix) flowers in September to November and its fruits will ripen between November to January. A common misconception is that Ivy will 'strangle' trees, which is untrue. Ivy berries, nectar and pollen will support wildlife during the autumn and winter when there is less food around. This picture was taken at Rouken Glen Park, East Renfrewshire.
