These were taken in my backyard in Charleston, WV. The yard is quite small, yet I have an abundance of poison ivy like plants. Some of this may be poison sumac or poison oak. Can you tell for sure?

Some of the ivy is just creeping (slithering) along the ground and some plants have grown as tall as trees. Everything was dead a couple months ago. Does it always grow so fast? Some of the leaves are about 3 inches across.

You can post any of these if you wish. I hope to spare anyone the poison ivy affliction I suffered a few weeks ago.

By the way, how can I get rid of such a large quantity of it?

Any questions, please write at [email protected] .
