Hopefully, I will have a better story to tell, but I fear I will be fighting this for years to come, as it appears well established in the home we just moved into. I do, however, want to contradict an earlier posting. Our creeping ivy grew from the ground up the trunk and branches of a tree, and had literally choked part of the tree before we got to it. Rather than work for a month to try and get all the individual vines from the top down, we decided to cut every main artery at the bottom of the tree and see what happens. Sure enough, all the vines above died, which makes it look like half the tree is brown, when in reality the tree's ... read moreleaves are green, and the ivy's leaves are brown. Now it's just a matter of waiting and hopefully seeing the individual vines slowly fall off. We also did our best to clear ALL the roots out of our back flowerbeds. We pulled about enough to fill 10 garbage bags, and our yard is not that big. I'll try to keep you updated on my success. TVBART Corpus Christi, TX [Rating]
