A Warning About English Ivy
We want to make you aware that English ivy has been found in the Village. Its vines can cause trees to die and damage residents’ properties. The invasive plant’s vines kill the trees by climbing up the tree trunks, making their way along the branches and twigs and preventing the trees from receiving sunlight. The dead trees, weighed down by the vines, can fall onto vehicles, homes or people.
To kill the vines, pull them up by hand when the soil is moist. You can also pull them out using a rake, or cut them from the bottom with pruning shears, a hand ax or other cutting tools. Work around the tree until all the vines are clipped. For the remaining vines that are on the ground, use a herbicide.
If you need assistance removing English ivy from your residence, call Village Hall at (631) 348-1133.
