The LARGEST wall of Boston Ivy in Britain is turning a spectacular blaze of red.
The magnificent 170-year-old ivy on the back of the building at St John’s College in Cambridge is changing from green to scarlet as the students starts their lectures at the prestigious university.
Around half the creeper, which covers New Court and was planted in the 1830’s, has now turned into splendid shades of crimson and the rest is expected to follow this week.
“The creeper is looking stunning as it changes colour. The college rooms opposite are hugely popular because of the lovely Autumnal view of the ivy,” said Claire Hurst, from Cambridge.
