The trick someone taught me for identifying poison ivy (I've got it ALL over my yard) was...
1) Irregular leaf shape. The leaves just don't know how to grow. Straight edge? Jagged edge? Both, neither?
2) The three leaves form a T-shape, with the center leaf jutting out.

- hammock 4y agoYes, there was no kudzu in this sample when there probably ought to be for a lot of people
- qup 4y agoThat's the first I've paid kudzu any attention, but looks like its "vine"/stem (not a botanist) is quite distinct from poison ivy, so that should make it decently easy.
