All constrict trees in different ways, by circling, wraping or over growing they consume the tree it is growing on. There is even cases of english ivy (Hedera helix), parasitizing trees. In any case vines , ivy’s and creepers should be kept away from your trees.
There is one technique that works very well when one wants these pests to go away. Get yourself a large piece of cardboard, an oil based herbicide such as woody tissued plant killer and the target itself. The plant has to be actively growing for the spray to be most effective, so spring is the a good time. Place the cardboard between the target and what you don’t want sprayed. Hit the areas where leaves are green and growing well. It will translocate the chemical through the plant into the roots and systemically kill the entire plant. No more pesty briar or poison ivy.
