Ivy!
We are lucky to have a few big trees at the end of the garden, a fairly big apple, a 60/70 foot tall, er, can't remember and another one that mainly hangs over next door. All of them, and the ground surrounding them, and the fence below are covered in Ivy, which is a lovely habitat and I am happy to keep as it is so green, but I am a bit concerned it will come to affect the trees. I understand there is to some extent a relationship between the Ivy and the trees that means they are both Ok, it just seems like a LOT of Ivy and I don't really want a tree to fall down (especially the big boy!). Now is not the time of year to get rid, but I wonder what I should be thinking about removing? I will need to replace the rear fence which is completely subsumed by it at some point, but what to do with the rest?
