Deal with climbing ivy vines first. They can kill desirable plants.

An effective way to treat English ivy vines is to use the “cut stump” method.

STEP 2:CUT THE
VINES
![Page 15: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Remove ring of ivy around the entire tree trunk.
![Page 16: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Loppers work well for smaller vines.
![Page 17: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Try to avoid damaging the bark of the tree.
![Page 18: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Be sure to sever all ivy vines.
![Page 19: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Do not try to remove vines from upper part of tree. Vine tops will die on their own.
![Page 20: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
STEP 3:APPLY THEHERBICIDE
![Page 21: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
For the herbicide to work best, stumps must be freshly cut.
(Treat within 5 to 10 minutes of cutting).
![Page 22: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Recut stumps if necessary.
![Page 23: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cut stumps as close to the ground as possible.
2 to 5 inches.
![Page 24: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
NOT so close to ground that dirt can contaminate cut.
1 inch.
![Page 25: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Immediately after cutting, treat the stump face.
![Page 26: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Apply foam to perimeter of stump where live inner bark is located.
![Page 27: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Treat all stumps! Un-treated ones will quickly re-sprout.
![Page 28: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Avoid contacting desirable plants with Herbicide. For example, damaged tree bark can
allow herbicide to enter tree’s system.
![Page 29: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Leave treated stumps in place for at least 4 months.
![Page 30: How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55a4230a1a28aba9278b4790/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
