Invading ivy engulfing a tree from the ground up, 3.

Ivy is a predator plant, robbing host trees of moister, nutrients and sun. In addition, the weight of the ivy will cause the branches of the host tree to crash off, damaging the tree itself. The best way to deal with the invading ivy is to remove it. Soaking the soil to loosen it will make it much easier to remove the root, the best way. Simply spraying it with white vinegar will work, too, but you need to be carful not to spray the nearby other plants or grasses.
