Virginia creeper does not dig into tree bark so it does not directly harm the plant. If it is allowed to grow unchecked, there are 2 potential problems. The leaves may block sunlight to parts of the tree which may cause shaded needles to decline; and a large creeper vine can girdle the trunk but this is not common. Cutting the vine every few years will keep the size manageable and safe.
