What Can I Use To Kill Vines Around My Mulberry Tree Without Killing The Tree?

Question

My tree is about 10-15 years old and vines have run rampant around it and the fence near it (mostly that Virginia creeper vine). I myself dont have the tools to try and dig up every vine (probably around 50 or more within 10 ft of the tree) and i cant exactly afford to pay someone to remove them…. what can i do/use?

Answer 1

If you can cut what you can, then spray ONLY the vines with vinegar, then this can help. It will kill off the vines on contact within a few days, and the tree will continue on, unharmed, with minimal vinegar contact.
