The Virginia Creeper Vine is the worst vine to kill, it will live threw basically anything. The only way to possible get rid of it is with roundup. Do not dilute the roundup and use a paint brush to put it on the plant.

Wear gloves when working with the plant to avoid rashes. Cut vine at base and remove from your trees. Apply herbicide to the base of the vine to kill it.

Well the first thing you can do is cut the vine off. But of course you will need to capture the vine at its root. You are going to have to remove the vine from the soil. Then you want to ensure that you are fertilizing your soil often. That will work.

Virginia Creeper vine are very hard to eliminate. Traditional sprays and weed killers are not very effective. The best way to destroy the vine is with phosphorus . Place the phosphorus at the base of the vine then water .

Be careful with this pant. If it gets out of control (which is VERY common) It could deprive the tree of sunlight. Keep it under your thumb or move it to a fixture you don't mind it growing on.
