I have been removing kudzu and Virginia creeper vines from under a very old oak tree. I tear down any vines growing up the tree ASAP. So far as I can tell the Virginia creeper vine appears reddish brown and the kudzu is dark brown. I'm afraid the tree may suffer from these vines, but not sure. I don't want to hurt the tree; it's over 100 years old. Please give me any information that might help.

Not sure about Virginia creeper but here in Ga we have kudzu and lots of it!It is a major pest and will take over and kill trees,plus it is a fast grower.As for removing it,how big are the vines?Are they all over the tree?Oh,yes your tree will suffer from kudzu,kudzu can (and will if it gets the chance)strangle your tree.
