Need help in determining if this picture shows any poison ivy?

Question

Here's a snapshot of ivy that is coming over into my yard from the neighbors'. http://picasaweb.google.com/naztazia/PoisonIvyHelp#5242312853471251826 (once at google's interface, you can click on the magnifying glass on the right to see it better). Is this poison ivy?

Answer 1

Growing up we were always told......3 leaves let it be.

Answer 2

NOPE!   Not Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy does NOT have thorns.

That is some sort of bramble, I used to think it was a rasberry when I was a kid , BUT, sadly no, it is just a nasty brambly that you should put some gloves on and pull up.

  Poison Ivy is much prettier and the leaves are glossy.

In the fall the leaves turn a brilliant red color.

Also they don't branch the same way.

They either hug the ground more or wind up a post, tree, bush, more than these brambles will.

Answer 3

no its not.poison ivy usually has shiny leaves, that pic does kind of look like it though..

Answer 4

It is not poison ivy.

I think it is a wild blackberry, they have thorns. We have many of these growing on our property.

Answer 5

This plant doesn't look like any poison ivy I've ever seen.  The leaves are ribbed and the stem white.  Here's are links to photos of poison ivy.

The second link has lots of types.

Answer 6

That's not poison ivy, that's stinging nettles. Ivy grows into a surface e.g. bricks so its sort of tight fit to that surface. Ivy leaves are shiny and have a waxy demeanour

Answer 7
