Vines and Trees

Question

There is a vine at the base of my ash tree and it has grown up the bark. I believe it is killing my tree. How do I begin to help my tree, if it isn’t too late?

Answer 1

It depends on the vine. Some vines, like wisteria and honeysuckle, will eventually kill the trees they grow on. Others, like clematis, will not. What kind of vine is it?
