It appears to be healthy and well-established. It extends up the entire <br />height of the remaining structure, even reaching and partially covering the <br />tops of the crumbling walls and chimneys. The roots of the vines are visible <br />in the interior face of the wall. <br />Possible Causes: Humidity levels and appropiated conditions to growth.
