English Ivy is not native to the US...it's an invader from England. The ivy's invasive properties include overpowering native ground cover and, if unchecked, climbing and covering trees. The ivy is not parasitic, so it won't attack the tree, but it will compete for nutrients in the soil and look rather nasty while climbing as high as it cat. Remove the ivy by cutting, letting it die and physically pulling it down from the tree and out of the soil. Ivy can be left to die, or burned. If you just leave it in a pile, monitor it periodically to make sure it isn't rerooting. That is some invasive species are very good at.
