Why do ivy plants often grow up the sides of trees?
Ivy likes to get up high and spread out, but the stems simply are not stiff enough to stand up on their own. For this reason, they rely on the rigidity of other items, like houses and trees to gain height. Trees usually offer a rough, varied surface which makes climbing easier than on a building. For there reasons, ivy "sees" the tree as perfect.
Does ivy damage liquid amber trees?
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.
