Hi there I have a few really tall trees in my garden which are overgrown with assorted vines. Is it necessary for me to cut them at the trunk (at least some of them) to keep the trees in good health? Thanks
All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Maybe.
It depends on the vine, some of them will establish “aerial” roots and there is more than enough energy in the vine to grow back to the ground.
I’d determine the type of vine and see if the reason it is over grown is if the vine is doing it or the trees are naturally dying due to the small copse degrading
