This isn't plant related but my Grandmother's name was Ivy.

She was completely bonkers so it is relevant.

Bloke up the road has a dog called ivy, it pees up trees but doesn’t kill them so it is relevant

My Mother had a goat called ivy.

 

Although the goat ate many bits of trees, it never ate a whole one, so it is relevant.

Goats love ivy. My pal who I used to help out a lot, with tree stuff, has pet goats. Any time a bit of ivy was involved, we had to save it and bring it home for his goats, in the trailer, or tied on the back of his pickup.
