Debate around matter rose following recent storms
Ivy isn't making trees around the Isle of Man more vulnerable in bad weather conditions.
That's the view of the Manx Wildlife Trust after debate around the matter rose following recent storms which hit the Island.
Trees were brought down in numerous areas causing disruption to road users.
Andree Dubbeldam of MWT says ivy climbs dying trees to find extra light but that the plant isn't why trees become weaker.
He believes something else is a key factor:
Health minister to give statement on Hospice funding
Majority of people on IOM not satisfied with travel options
Gandeys Circus cancels Sunday shows due to high winds
Final round of bus strike action gets underway
Hospice redundancies decision "tough to make but the right thing to do", says CEO
