Question

Will a Virginia creeper injure a 50-60 year old sycamore tree?

Answer 1

Not right away, it won't. Virginia creeper is one of those plants that does little harm if kept in check, but if left to its own, it can kill a tree that large over the course of several years. You just need to make sure you are routinely removing it from the tree to keep it from doing that.
