Hedera helix
The first flowering of ivy occurs at 10 years of age: in itself almost insignificant, it then produces as fruit black and globose berries highly toxic to humans but appreciated by the birds that eat them during the winter period. Furthermore, ivy is a honey plant: bees use the nectar of its flowers to produce a rapidly crystallizing honey that they will use as a hive reserve for the winter.
