The tree along the street of these apartments is covered in ivy and had already started to overtake the mid-height branches. Within a year or two, it will reach the top canopy and strangle the tree fully. We went after a basic remediation and cleared a gap ring around the base of the tree so the vines will start to die off and decrease the load on the tree. Unfortunately some vines were too big and attached to the tree to snip, so a quick tree saw was required to clear it.
We'll keep an eye in the coming months to see the recovery and consider returning in the spring to observe new growth and consider remediating further if possible.
