Ivy climbing up your tree might look charming, but it’s actually a big red flag for your yard’s health and safety. Arborists warn that English ivy is invasive and can slowly choke out trees by stealing light and nutrients, hiding damage, and even making branches heavy enough to break. If you want your trees to thrive (and avoid costly repairs from falling limbs), experts say it’s best to cut the ivy at the base and consider planting native species instead.
