Hi I’ve been trying to keep my side of boundary free of what ever this is, for a over two years now, i think it’s ivy of some kind, it’s growing completey up this 50 to 60ft conifer, it’s soo dense and damaging the tree, i can’t reach any higher, i think the problem is coming from the other side of my fence. I believe it is council property? I keep trying to keep my side clear but it’s a problem. Please can you help it’s really taken off this year and seems to of spread very rapidly.
