The poison oak I have painful experience with is three leaved... it's image is burned into my frontal lobes. :eek: or wherever you store those unfortunate images.
YEP. I fear PI for that very reason, I can identify it from a good distance, too ;)

If it is a vine, I didn't plant it, it is going to be introduced to CrossBow.

I would get rid of the Virginia creeper, or I would if I could. It seems to be an invasive around here and I'd love for it to be gone. I can appreciate seeing its fall colors in the neighbors's yards.

I agree. Looks like Virginia Creeper to me. Extremely common here in AL, and it's often mistaken for poison oak/ivy.

You can get rid of it. Spray Crossbow or a generic form. It will be gone leaving all the grasses.

I walked outside and it didn't take me long to find Virgina Creeper climbing up a tree. It's pretty invasive...

Here we call it Poison Oak and I am highly allergic to it. It is NOT my friend! I would put the pot of dirt in a double bagged trash bag and get RID of it!
