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.

If you want to maintain the trees in good health I would recommend cutting them back. Go around the tree and cut every vine in two places, removing a small section between to prevent them from healing. Do not pull larger sections of vine from the tree as this can severely damage the bark.
