Yes it is the "root" of the problem. Once you cut it back let the leaves come on again. Then get some Round-up for poison ivy and spray. Get the leaves only and make sure it does not get on the tree or ground around the tree since I can cause damage to the tree. Round-up will trans-locate to the root and kill the whole plant. Round-up too does not have a long residual in the ground either which is very good. Happy gardening and killing of the plant.

You can also try painting the cuts with weedkiller as soon as you make the cut. The weedkiller is absorbed into the cut and down into the root system, killing the roots. This is how my husband's (restoration ecologist) weed management team does a lot of their invasive weed control.
For other information about killing this plant, see the link below for an article by David Beaulieu at About.com.
Good luck!! ;-)

If you want to get rid of a plant you must destroy the root... that is where the tree really gets it nutrients from. destroy the roots and you should have the issue handled....
