Yes, stranger vines can kill trees. They girdle bushes, herbs, grasses, shrubs and trees from bottom to top. The girdling or strangling activity by runners, suckers or tendrils massively generated by prolific seeding kills non-woody and woody plants by monopolizing all light and moisture inputs from air, land and water bodies.

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. Fletch


How do the trees help the vines?

Trees provide support and structure for vines to climb and grow upon. Vines can utilize the trees for better access to sunlight, helping them photosynthesize and grow more effectively. Additionally, trees can help protect vines from harsh weather conditions and predators.

What height is the tallest strangler fig?

The tallest strangler fig (Ficus macrophylla) recorded reaches heights of up to 60 meters (approximately 197 feet). These trees are known for their unique growth habit, as they start as epiphytes and eventually envelop and kill their host trees. Strangler figs are often found in tropical and subtropical regions, where they thrive in favorable conditions. Their impressive height and expansive canopy make them significant components of their ecosystems.
