Question
Plant in question is the one in the center of the pictures with the reddish green leaves. These were found next to a driveway. There are some larges plants with similar leaves and woody stems. Just looking for some help identifying. Thanks!
Answer
Dear Joe, the plant in the center of the images is a species of Toxicodendron (poison-ivy). I cannot tell you which species it is without seeing mature plants. Toxicodendron radicans (poison-ivy) is a woody, climbing species that ascends other vegetation by means of aerial roots. Toxicodendron rydbergii (western poison-ivy) is a straggling shrub without aerial roots. Best wishes.
