ran across this yesterday and wanted to double check. It has 3 leaves on a stem, red vine...BUT, the vine has stickers on it and the leaf is saw toothed.

I have a bunch of it!!

Thanks,
Rob

Looks like rasberry to me... Ivy usually a little redder, straight leaves, and "viney" (though it can appear as a shrub.

Leaves have that oily look, out of respect for the discomfort it can cause, i would treat it as poison until proven otherwise.

Not poison ivy.

It should be the state plant of Virginia, there's so much of it here.:eek:

The indigenous black berries have here (aka black caps) do not vine like that and just push up new growth. Guess the ultimate test is to rub some on and see what happens, if nothing else will find out who your friends are??

Cool exactly it!! We picked some blackberrys this weekend but I suspect they might have been due berries (not sure of the difference there either). They are growing in with some corn I planted in a food plot area. Years of a mess it'll take some time to get rid of the junk.

Thanks,
Rob
