I was walking through the lowe's theater parking lot yesterday and noticed this extremely healthy looking vine growing along the fence...Large green leaves...it was filling in quite nicely indeed. The bad news is that the vine was poison ivy.
Poison ivy's leaves are born in clusters of three leaves. If your unlucky enough to have poison ivy in your yard. The best control is with roundup. You can still get poison ivy from dead vines, so you must use the utmost care in removing it. There is a product called tecnu that will break down the oils in your skin if you come in contact with the vine. We don't carry it, but a local pharmacy should.
