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
