Скачать или смотреть Saving an Ash tree from Oriental Bittersweet vine

One of the worst #invasive #plants in the #Philadelphia area is Oriental Bittersweet. It’s a climbing, vigorous #vine that is capable of strangling and shading out #native plants and trees, frequently preventing natural #forest regeneration. It is very heavy and can cause tree failure in extreme cases. In this case, many vines were climbing up an endangered Green Ash tree. The tree is infected with the Emerald Ash Borer, but I hope that by removing this vine, we can increase its ability to produce seeds in its remaining time. Here’s how I took care of it before it got worse! I would recommend removing this plant from your property, especially if it’s climbing on native vegetation.
