It was the tree and the vine all over again. If you see a little shoot coming out of the ground and recognize it as the shoot of a heavy vine, you can pull it out of the ground with your thumb and forefinger and all will be well. If you wait until the vine has got a firm hold on the tree, you need to have saws and perhaps an ax and a shovel to get rid of the thing and dig out the roots. It is unlikely that you can remove the vine without breaking some of the branches of the tree.
