Not in Oregon, it's a non-native plant, and damn invasive.

It's invasive here, too. You control it (in the garden) by pulling it
out - pruning/cutting makes it grow faster. Trouble is that "official"
workers use mechanical tools with blades...
I suppose ivy is the Oregon version of the Japanese knotweed over here.

But are not all plants are non-native as are humans. Just a question of when
and by what means they arrived ?
