This is very helpful! Thanks. I hope you don't mind
if I pass on the information to others? Recognizing
the 3 Ps is a good thing. Getting rid of them is
better :)

Have a GREAT gardening day. Come wander through my blogs at:

I am never going to be able to identify so I will just look for leaves of
three, leave them be. A lot of work went into putting this on for us. Thanks
for that...I am going to stick it into a file and hope that I don't run into
any of it.

Thanks for this link... very helpful!
I've never been able to identify poisons Oak.
I'm one of those folk who doesn't usually get poison ivy, but do get
some other. Suspecting sumac, I researched it a few years ago and I'm
not sure the sumac pictured is the poisonous one. We have that coming
up in the yard and I read on-line that that was a sumac tree.... It has
the reddish brown berries at the center as shown, and the leafy material
on the mail rachis "vein" (thus the term Winged Sumac). The poison
one has white berries and no leafy material on the main... instead the
poisonous one has red rachis.

Here's a page that shows the poisonous one:

And a page on the Winged Sumac (not the poisonous one) that was shown:
http://www.duke.edu/~cwcook/trees/rhco.html

While you may not want the winged Sumac, I didn't want it unjustly (;-))
yanked out on a bad rep as a poisonous plant.
