Where To Look For Poison Ivy On Your Property

Where Does Poison Ivy Grow On Your Property?

They may grow along the ground or up the trunks of trees or even along fences.

The leaves may be dull or glossy but they always grow in triple clusters. In the fall, the leaves may change to a pinkish color, and in the summer the plants have white berries.

Both poison ivy and poison oak have leaves that grow in clusters of three, and both plants, as well as poison sumac, bear white berries in the summertime. Gardeners should wear gloves and boots to protect themselves from poison ivy.

Note - Birds are what spread the seed around.  The white berries that grow on poison ivy are none toxic to birds.  As they fly around and release "bird droppings" they also spread the poison ivy plant around.  Birds like to drink out of eaves troughs on houses after a rain and they fly over your roof tops.  Check the end of your eaves trough for any poison ivy plants.  I found one at the end of my spout one summer.
