Fall is a great time to remove unwanted vines. Some vines provide food and shelter for wildlife, but aggressive growth can quickly take over trees, shrubs, fences and other landscape features.

Annual vines, such as morning glory, can often be pulled up by hand, roots and all. Perennial woody vines are more stubborn and may require additional control measures to prevent them from returning. You can read more about how to remove certain vines here: https://tinyurl.com/2kw2vmbt
