To replant a growing ivy on a fence, carefully detach the ivy from its current location, ensuring you preserve the roots. Choose a spot on the fence where the ivy can receive adequate sunlight and moisture. Use garden twine or plant clips to secure the ivy to the fence, encouraging it to climb. Water the plant thoroughly after replanting to help it establish in its new position.

Poison ivy does not die in the winter, but it becomes dormant until the spring when it starts growing again.
I'm assuming the ivy is growing outside. It is very hard to get rid of ivy. Basically, you just have to pull it all up and dig up all of the roots. After your initial pulling and digging, if more grow, get it out as soon as you can. It is a lot of work, but eventually you will get all of it.
The quickest growing ivy is often considered to be English ivy (Hedera helix). Under optimal conditions, it can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) or more per year. Its rapid growth, adaptability, and ability to thrive in various environments make it a popular choice for covering walls, fences, and trellises. However, it's important to manage its growth, as it can become invasive in some areas.
To effectively control ground ivy in your lawn, you can use herbicides specifically designed to target broadleaf weeds like ground ivy. Applying these herbicides in the fall or spring when the ground ivy is actively growing can help to effectively control its spread. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lawn through proper mowing, watering, and fertilizing can help prevent ground ivy from taking over.

Yes, ivy can cause damage to concrete walls. The roots of ivy can penetrate small cracks and crevices, potentially widening them and leading to structural issues. Additionally, the moisture retained by the plant can contribute to the deterioration of the concrete over time. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent such damage if ivy is allowed to grow on concrete surfaces.
