Poison ivy

Description:  Trailing or climbing woody vines and low shrubs with leaves having three leaflets.  Fruit is a small ovoid drupe that can be white to tan to gray in color.  Coming into contact with either the plant or smoke from burning plants can cause rashes for certain people.

Wildlife value:  Fruit is consumed by many songbirds during the winter.  This plant is of moderate to high preference for white-tailed deer.
