@createinspirem3 I'm hardly an expert, but it doesn't seem like the ivy is benefiting the trees, right? It might block photosynthesis and/or tap into the trees' xylem and siphon off nutrients. Just a guess!
@1ZellaWatson Thanks, it’s the first time I’ve looked at these trees and being tall pines they also have a danger near houses if pulled down by the wind. The woodland has been neglected by the council, some #wildlife #ecosystem benefits having #ivy but we would hate land to see land developed.
@createinspirem3 For me, it's a travesty any time a tree gets cut down! Good luck w/ keeping the land undeveloped. (W/ that ivy though, it adds weight to the trees & probably makes them more likely to fall down, so nearby houses might be endangered.)
