Poison-ivy
Toxicodendron radicans
Poison-ivy is an extremely resilient, fast-spreading native plant that grows in a wide range of conditions from part shade to full sun in moist to average soils. It is not recommended for home gardens due to the severe skin irritation caused by urushiol, the oil present in all parts of the plant. If found on your property, handle with extreme caution using protective gear and consult a professional for removal.
