Poison? Ground is covered with it where I did some clearing this winter.

That's what I thought after comparing to google images. Wanted to consult the experts here, though! Thx!

You're very welcome...live in the city but have a creek in the backyard and just walked along a bunch of new growth like that earlier this afternoon.

Was born and raised on a farm and used to roll in the stuff back in the day with out a problem, but not any more. I can feel it in my system shortly after I've touched it nowadays.

I was the same way, which is why I never cared to learn exactly what it looked like in my younger years. Poison sumac, on the other hand, I know exactly what that devil plant looks like after a few years in GA.

Best way to kill it without harming other foliage? It's hard to target, specifically, right?

I just hit it with Roundup formulated for Poison Ivy and it's done an excellent job of taking it out; but it will take out other foliage as well, so just try to hit the PI leaves and it will take it out!

The correct OB answer is Remedy and Diesel. Just be careful when you spot spray.

This? https://www.forestrydistributing.com/remedy-ultra-specialty-herbicide-dow-corteva

What's the OBs recommended ratio?

Joking sort of (that just seems to be the standard answer for most clearing projects) .. This is more of nuclear option and will kill everything it touches.

Start with the round up option first if you have a small patch. Not worth the investment in remedy and diesel.

Just be careful and not get it on any trees. It will take at least a couple of iterations of spraying, but it will work. After about 2 weeks, you will see what you missed and respray. Then wait a month or 2 to see what comes back up and hit it again. I liked the Bayer brush killer the best. Put a little dawn in it to help it stick to the plant.

The app "Picture This" will allow you to scan?take picture of the plant and it will give you an ID. Really cool.

NUT SEDGE!!!

T&P for your yard.

Any product containing 2,4-D, or another broadleaf weed killer, should be effective and is selective, unlike Roundup . Just make sure to apply it per the product label.

A word of warning, do not burn Poison Ivy. The oils in the plant will waft into the air. If one inhales them, or they enter your body via the eyes, it gets in your blood stream and will cause the worst misery you can imagine. I'm saying this from personal experience.

is this on acreage?

rent some goats. seriously. They love the stuff.

Really needs to have some triclopyr in whatever is used for vines.

This is something I know. Not from experience, thankfully.

I used to pull the stuff off cattle chutes all the time without any issue. I still don't have a real bad reaction but it will bubble up in the folds of my skin now. It has a pretty distinctive look to it. the only plant I ever sometimes confuse with poison Ivy is sapling Box elder trees.
