Vines represent your ambitious thoughts or ideas, growth or fruitfulness of aspects of 'the self', your connections with family and ancestors. It may also indicate your clinginess to others.

Trying to chop them down suggests that you may be trying to end a relationship, or habit, that has gotten out of hand, or that you are trying to cut family bonds.

Hope that helps.
