There are several plants out there that can be confused with poison ivy. Watch as Kerry Heafner takes us through a few of the plants mostly commonly mistaken for this itchy nuisance.
I'm having a hard time distinguishing between young Boston ivy and poison iv. You never even addressed it? To me it's the closest imposter. I need help. Besides the suction cups n shorter middle leaf stem how can you distinguish them?
That is to say that along any given stem, leaves may grow in pairs on opposite sides of the plant, or conversely they will alternate along the length of the stem.
Blackberries, like roses, have prickles, not thorns. Prickles grow on the stem and can be separated from it by pushing them sideways. Thorns are modified shoots that are part of the stem.
There's lots of leaves of three here and they are not poisonous. That one would be a reasonable advice for someone who is clueless about plants but not for me.
@@robertschmidt9296 ok my horticulturist friend, since there is lots of tricotleydon, or trifoliates, it shouldn't be hard to name 3.. one is Virginia creeper. What is the third poisonous tree , that grows along roadsides, prolific in the south. Makes poison oak ,and ivy, seem like a walk in the park if you get it on you.
