Ivy and trees

tree that it will eventually kill off the tree.Thanks in advance for answers to this. |

Ah but, true, the ivy will not actually 'infect' or hinder the tree growth but, when winter winds doth blow the extra windage caused by the mass of ivy leaf growth might just be enough to get the tree blown over. Whereas an ivy-less tree of similar stature would survive. I have a 75ft Ash growing t'other side of our boundary ditch and didn't want that straddling our property. When the ivy base stems got to 3inches in diameter, I decided enough was enough and severed them ........ with the owner's knowledge. I know that it is not an instant solution. The existing ivy growth will take a year to die back. -- ned http://www.bugsandweeds.co.uk last update 08.11.2005 |
