Is this Poison Ivy?

[JohnB]

My neighbor has various types of ivy growing in his yard. Some of it has migrated into my yard.

There is one on a tree that concerns me (see attached photo). Is this poison ivy?

Regards,
John

Looks like poison ivy to me.

as it's growing "on" a tree, you've got a root system supporting the vines that are climbing the tree.

here's one way to deal with it.....

using protective measures, clip / trim / cut off the leaves and cut the vine back to a manageable size but _not_ to the ground.

you may have saved, or you can get, from your local florist, those cute little plastic vials with a plastic cap - used for keeping cut stem roses / flowers "in water"

fill the vial with RoundUp, stick the end of a poison ivy vine through the cap and into the vial - let it suck up all the RoundUp it wants . . .
