Hairy vines, leaf triplets, left and right of the triplets are reverses of each other and relatively symmetrical (in a mirror fashion), center leave is bilaterally symmetrical.

It *looks* to me like poison ivy, but the thing is, the leaves are *HUGE*. Four inches across on the really big ones. I've never heard of poison ivy quite like this - it has always appeared to me to be quite small-leafed.

This stuff is all over my back yard (new house), up one wall of the house and into the 100 year old cherry tree. If I have to get rid of it, I wouldn't know how to start.

I don't have a digital camera or a scanner. Sorry, no pics, but if you live in Evansville, Indiana, I can show it to you in person.

Regards,

Firefly
