i
hate this plant with a passion
if i even see a nearby tree
with a twenty year old vine
growing up it with a thick stalk
i grab the ole double bladed ax
thats extremely sharp and cut it.
the update...
just reading in my new April issue
farming Magazine that the reason why
poison Ivy is thriving is due to a RISE
in
carbon dioxide levels that are making
much stronger healthier plants. The US
dept of agriculture says that the
growth rate
for poison ivy has
Doubled in the last 50 years.
and since....
it grows up trees too.. as a
parasite
after several years the tree dies
so keep that in mind when you see a vine starting
to grow up your wonderful tree...
birds eat the blue poison IVY berries
and then pass the seeds spreading it
everywhere.
KILL them vines
