Poison Ivy (Plant Identification)
In the first four photo’s below, note the extreme variation in the leaves of the plants. All are poison ivy. The top and bottom left are in the same patch as are the top and bottom images on the right. In fact, these dramatically different looking leaves are on the same plant! It is this irregularity of the leaves, the persistent inconsistency of leaves on the same vine or plant that makes poison ivy unmistakable. Most 3 leave plants have symmetrical leaves, the most common exception to this is the young Box Elder tree.

Poison ivy uses its aerial roots
Poison ivy uses its aerial roots to firmly anchor itself to a tree or other object, but once in a while you will find a poison ivy vine hanging, unattached to the tree. This habit is usually reserved for the wild grapes but not always. -

Poison Ivy Vines
There are three vines in this image. Can you tell which is the poison ivy? It's the one on the left, the middle one is Virginia creeper and the far right is a young grape. -
