Expert Response
Hi, Lee,
This is most likely not poison ivy, but box elder. We cannot see the leaf arrangement to be sure. Click here to read about identifying poison ivy and how to differentiate it from plants with a similar appearance. Box elder leaves are arranged oppositely on their stem, while poison ivy leaves are arranged alternately. We cannot see the leaf arrangement to be sure.
Thank you for your question.
