Hello,

Im in Denver, CO and recently moved into a new home, lining the fence in our backyard are a row of very larg lilac bushes (13ft+). There is a vine twining throughout them that I just identified as Virgina Creeper. I have been told this is really invasive, should I pull it off the lilacs? It is all over them, and on the chain link fence behind them. The area looks overgrown/shabby and I will prune the lilacs, but I just ended a dandelion crusade and the idea of adding another sworn enemy to my list seems daunting. I am afraid if I dont get ALL of it, we will be doing this dance every year...but I also dont want the vine to overtake the lilacs. If it could stay as is right now, I would be okay with the Creeper, but I am assuming it will get more agressive as the season/years progress...any thoughts?!
