Several woody stemmed vine species call the Pacific Northwest home, and thrive in the conditions present. As vines climb into the upper canopy, they can open up small wounds in the bark and allow for disease to infiltrate the stem, as well as make access by insects easier. Furthermore, the vine can begin to choke out the canopy of a tree, making photosynthesis more difficult.

Using a method known as single rope access, climbing into the tree without “spikes” or “spurs”, vines can be removed without further damaging the tree.

Pruning can be essential to the health of a tree, especially ornamental and fruit producing trees. Improving the tree can be accomplished by removing dead branches, and opening up the canopy to allow for healthy undergrowth.

The owner of LIFT has years of experience using rope to access difficult terrain, where machinery of any type is largely unable to work.
