Do vines kill trees?
Yes. We have just bought a piece of property with pecan trees
surrounded by hugh 8" thick P. Oak vines. Hugh limbs are beginning
to die & fall off the trees. We are just beginning to fight it
by cutting the biggest vines with a chain saw. Also trying to get
the roots out of the ground. Then we will paint what's left, that
we can reach, with brush-b-gone or something similar. We do not
want to kill the trees. That's why we will paint on treatment
instead of spraying it.
