Will ivy growing up an oak tree eventually kill the tree?
No, unless a poison ivy plant is caught in the branches of the tree.
Cutting the connection between the part growing up the tree and the top of the roots and then eliminating the roots are ways to kill trunk-climbing ivy without killing the dogwood (Cornus spp) so affected. The roots may be removed by equipment, hand, or pesticide.
No..It is a creeping vine.
The short answer is no. Climbing ivy is not a parasite. It only uses the tree for support. The weight of the ivy is not sufficient to threaten the structural integrity of the tree therefore removal of ivy from a tree is an aesthetic question. There are some reports of more vigorous vines (grapes and Virginia creeper) overtaking a tree. This can damage the health of a tree when the leaves of the vine are intercepting light. This can, over time, shade out thee tree. Sometimes, ivy will overtake a tree that is already in decline or dead. The ivy was not responsible for the tree's decline. I assume that this question refers to the tree sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua) or another member of this genus. The species of the tree really doesn't matter when considering the ivy question.

The Ivy tree itself is beautiful but it's what's inside that counts and in this case, it is poison!

Poison ivy is ivy,which is a vine plant. It's usually low on the ground but sometimes can grow tall enough that it attaches to the tree
Unless you have a severe allergic reaction, poison ivy will not kill you. It's just extremely annoying and aggravating.
Poison ivy can grow as tall as a tree. That is because poison ivy can be in identified in two forms: bush or vine. A poison ivy vine can creep up a tree and sometimes this kills the tree. The bush form can be as high as a doorway. The bush form will grow among other plants ( like your outdoor garden!) or at the edge of fields.
it depends what type if leaves. If they are ivy then they are "strangeling" your tree and you need to get rid of them
No, she wanted to kill Robin
