[quote=Anonymous]Cut the ivy. Haven't you ever seen a tree with ivy starting halfway up where it has been sliced off and the ivy dead on the tree? It's leaching nutrients and rotting the tree. Then rip it all out of the ground. I did it at our last house. It was a long day and a half's work but if you get it at the root it doesn't come back. It's easy to replace with mulch and a planting bed of whatever you want- even mondo grass/vinca/whatever. I think rodents only live in the ivy if you have rodents. If you don't in your area, don't worry. If you are in a rowhome near restaurants, definitely get it gone as there's probably vermin close-by. You may want to get an arbourist to assess your tree if it looks bad though. I know ivy is slowly killing a couple trees in the park nearby as the ivy hasn't been cut. Even if it's cut now I don't think anything's bringing those trees back to health.[/quote]
