Native to east Asia, including China, Korea, the Philippines and Japan. Today we began removing Wintercreeper vines from trees. They smother trees, block sunlight, hog nutrients, water, and cause structural damage because of their weight. Many were easily cut at the base and pulled away from the trees. The vines that are 20+ years old are 6 to 8 inches wide and 20 to 60 feet long. They spiral up and around and bind themselves to the tree trunks. They had to be cut with a saw in segments. The higher segments left on the trees will eventually fall off. Some of the vines were too close to the trees to saw today, so we have to return with a crowbar or prybar to create big enough gaps to make more cuts. I think we severed and or removed about 15-20 Wintercreeper vines today.
