Ivy creeping up on unsuspecting tree

Description:

Description: English: Hedera helix (common ivy, English ivy, European ivy, or just ivy) is a species of flowering plant in the family Araliaceae, native to most of Europe and western Asia. A rampant, clinging evergreen vine, it is a familiar sight in gardens, waste spaces, on house walls, tree trunks and in wild areas across its native habitat. It is labeled as an invasive species in a number of areas where it has been introduced. Here on the picture, ivy is creeping up on a tree that will eventually die-back when it will be over run.
