Behind our townhouse on Mission Square Drive on common ground, a tree appears to be dying.  It's covered with ivy.  I tried cutting the vines at the base of the tree but am not sure I've saved the tree.  It's leaning toward our houses.  The entire area under the trees is covered with ivy.  We pulled the ivy down off the other trees that it was beginning to climb.  The tree needs to be checked out to see if it's still alive, and the ivy should all be pulled up to prevent it from killing more trees.
