The evergreen nature of native Ivys mean they retain their leaves through our Winter.
Deciduous trees, like your overgrown apple, lose their leaves to avoid the effects of Winter storms.
Ivy can act like a sail on its host tree, and sometimes cause the host tree to be blown down when the storm has particularly strong gusts or is from the non-prevailing direction.
