Poison Ivy Identification #866255

Asked April 29, 2024, 9:54 AM EDT

I have a hard time identifying poison ivy. Are any of these plants poison ivy? They were wet when I took the pictures.

The second photo looks like poison ivy.  It typically has fairly shiny leaves and doesn’t have the serrations along the leaf edge.

The link above is to the Extension Plant Toolbox page for poison ivy.  The toolbox is a wonderful resource for identifying plants.  Compare your plant with these photos to make sure that you agree with my opinion.
