Hydrangea Vine

Hi; I don't know about the climbing hydrangea, but I have
impossible-to-eradicate hardy ivy growing around an ash tree.  The tree is
slowly dying, branch by branch...'tree people' have told me this is because
the ivy hogs nutrients and water, and the tree slowly starves to death.  It
can take as long as 20 years to finish the tree off, but by the time the
problem is noticeable, the tree is too far gone to save, even thought it
may yet be 10 years away from the end.  Any vine with a superficial, dense
root system I would not plant by any tree with deeper feeder roots.
