Question Asked: Is this poison Ivy? I'm assuming it is.

Answer: Thanks for some great pictures, John. You are correct - this is classic poison ivy. These poison ivy "trees" can fool many people especially when they take over a tree and create a new canopy. Notice the buds forming on the second picture. Those are some very long leaves though not unusual.
