Default Re: Vines up trees? Yes or no poll?

Treeseer...

I think I know what he's referring to about trouble with spiking for removals if there are vines. English ivy is the more common one here, and the leaves frequently cloak the vine so that a climber can't tell if they are stabbing the vine or a void space between the vines.

Ekka...

We have some morning glory here that covers and cloaks as thickly, but I can't recall if I've seen any that high.

In northern Oregon by Portland, there is a wild Clematis vine that seems to be one of the more nuisance vines in trees, along with English Ivy, which is sometimes naked stem along the trunk with foliage above, but other times foliage from ground to as high as it reaches up the trunk.
