Killing vines

Probably Tree of Heaven.

That may be it. I'll have to go back to the area he pointed it out and see if I can find it again.

Take some spray paint with you to mark it/them. Will save you time the next goaround

The small ones in diameter with hairy roots glued to the tree are either poison ivy or Virginia Creeper, both of which look a lot alike until you get to the mature leaves and share the exact same habitat. The circling vine COULD be either honeysuckle or Trumpet Creeper, hard to tell from the photo.

I thought honeysuckle were the bushes that keep green leaves long after everything else has dropped theirs and has the little red berries.

Without a doubt the tree was Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima). DON'T cut it. It will resprout like crazy even if you treat the stumps. Foliar spray the short ones and do a basal bark treatment on the big ones. You'll be retreating the area for 2-3 years to get it all. Also know that if you basal bark treat them that they weeken quickly and will begin falling within a year or two of tree death.

The forester said to cut a ring about an inch deep all the way around it near the bottom to kill it.

 

[Yeah]

That is girdling and it'll kill the tree you do it to, but the root system will continue to send out suckers if you don't treat it.

If you girdle the tree and apply the Tordon to the cut it will control the root system. If you do get some resprout, you can treat them as needed.

Forestry work is a long term process.
