Poison Ivy?

12 years ago

This is in my yard too... at one time I planted all kinds of berries but they never did anything and these kinda look like those... but I'm afraid to pull them up because they might be poison ivy... Can you help me?
Sorry about two posts... I could only attach one picture at a time.

Those are berries. Poison ivy doesn't have thorns and 3 leaves.

Here is a link that might be useful: poison ivy

As we said in Boy Scouts, leaves of three, leave it be, leaves of five, let it thrive.

Definitely not poison ivy! That is either blackberry or dewberry.

The other Boy Scout mnemonic was - you can shake hands with five fingers, you can't with three. . .

Looks like a blackberry vine. It should have some fruit on it by now.
