Question Asked: I've managed to pick up an Ivy rash recently, and I believe this is the culprit. Could you please verify?
Answer: Steve,
I'm with you. This look like poison ivy to me. These plants have all of the classic characteristics. Your pictures are great as we can even see those "hairy tendrils" that I refer to often. The identifiers include:
- 3 leaflet leaves
- woody vines
- aerial roots (hairy tendrils)
- egg-shaped leaves
- middle leaf with longer stem
- middle leaf pointed
- alternating leaves
I especially like the last picture. How many times have we seen a vine peeking through boards? |
