    Can you help identify this plant? Found in wooded area near driveway. Trying to locate poison ivy and wasn't sure what type of plant is shown in the attached picture....

    Answer

    Dear Joe, the dark-leaved plant is Rubus hispidus (bristly blackberry). The other plants I cannot tell until they develop more. None of these plants are species of Toxicodendron (poison-ivy).
