Poison Ivy in Bramble Plantings
Return to Weeds
Poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) is a climbing or straggling perennial vine with three leaflets per leaf and alternate leaf arrangement. Leaves are often shiny when young. All plant parts contain an oil that can lead to a severe rash for hours to a few days after contact.
