Poison Ivy - Toxicodendron radicans

Poison ivy vines often grow on tree trunks and are covered with "hairs", which are actually aerial rootlets. It may look harmless, but it is not! Poison ivy vines can still give you the urushiol-induced rash, which can be quite painful.

Some fun poison ivy sayings:
"Raggy rope, don’t be a dope!”
"Vines with hair, beware!"
“Leaves of Three, Leave Them Be”
“Longer Middle Stem, Don't Touch Them”
“Berries of white, best take flight”
"Hairy Vine, No Friend of Mine"

Habitat: Growing on a hardwood tree at the edge of a meadow
