Poison plants? #763587

Asked July 23, 2021, 4:37 PM EDT

Are the plants in the photos poison ivy or poison sumac?

Expert Response

This looks like tree-of-heaven to me.  It is not poison ivy for sure and poison sumac needs to be in water.  This area does not look like it is in standing water.  Poison sumac also has smooth leaf margins and these leaves look like they have toothed margins near the base of the leaf.
