Control Of Ivy On Conifers.
To control ivy on conifers you need to cut the ivy stems through near the base of the conifer.And then allow the ivy to die back bore about 6 weeks then remove by pulling the ivy of the conifer branches by hand.The reason for this is to allow the ivy to die back because otherwise removing it straight away tends to damage the conifer as the ivy normally has a strong hold of the main conifer stems with its air roots.At the base of the conifers the new ivy shoots can be treated with round up weed killer.
