If I Put The Stem/trunk Of English Ivy In A Bottle Of Round-up Will It Kill The Ivy Without Damaging The Tree It Is Attached To An

Question

d growing on. My 100ft oak has lots of ivy growing all the way to the top. I cut the ivy trunks about two feet from the ground about two months ago in hopes of killing the vines. Nothing is dead. Is the ivy feeding off the tree? I thought about inserting the ivy trunks into a bottle of 50/50 round-up but I’m afraid the round-up may go through the ivy into the tree thus killing the tree. Most of the ivy trunks are at least one inch in diameter.

Answer 1

You could, certainly, try that! Theoretically, your idea is sound.
