Do they ever bloom with flowers that hang in bunches sort of like grapes do?

If so they might be wild Wisteria vines.

Wisteria is very pretty when in full bloom but the spreading vines can overtake trees and other vegetation, eventually killing them, pry porches off of buildings, bust masonry constructions

Hard to say without leaves but it could be Virginia Creeper, which has five leaves instead of three like poison Ivy. They do grow together at times. Birds tend to drop the seeds of both at fence posts and trees. miles

Bad pic, but it looks like poison ivy to me, and that's judging from those little hairs on the stalk. I've seen it get very large when it's allowed to grow undisturbed.

Back in Wisconsin, the poison ivy gets maybe a foot high from what I've seen and the winters knock it back every year. We go birding down here in Florida and the stuff grows on the trees and I've seen it 50' high! I wouldn't have believed it because I look for the stuff on the ground, but never knew that it could take over a tree like that. If some local hadn't pointed it out I would have put a tree stand in among that stuff. There is poison oak and poison sumac too and I don't encounter either one of those and would blunder into them without knowing it.

THIS! Above all else, do not burn it if you suspect it to be poison ivy. You get that crap in your lungs, and you will plead for death. frown


An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Poison Ivy is a sneaky plant. Seems to disguise itself.

It's a really cool plant, last year I found a patch of it at work that had a variegated leaf on it to disguise it like the other plants around it, first time I had seen that.

As for the vine, it's difficult to tell but it does look like a poison ivy vine with all the little hairs on it.

that looks like poison ivy we have around here. some people call it poison oak because it grows on vines on trees but its actually a variant of poison ivy. that schit will turn me into a walking pus ball if i get close to it, even in winter. i learned that lesson years ago cutting firewood.
