Removing Ivy From Trees: It's Easier Than You Think

Sorry for the long title, but this is what I needed to read regarding the large tree next to the house, two years ago. You see, we bought a house with a yard that had literally "run wild". This tree and the foundation next to it was completely ivy covered. It was charming and picturesque and I loved it. Old houses scare my husband, so before and after purchase, he had multiple contractors come out and give us some advice on what needed to be done. Every one of them said, "You have got to get that ivy off that tree!" But none of them could tell us how. http://chaoticallycreative.com/
