Poison ivy
A beautiful native plant, poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) is a wicked plant (at least for those of us allergic to it - and that's about 85% of us).
The fruits are excellent for birds ~ check.
Fall color is fabulous ~ check.
It's native ~ check.
But.... its oils are not a happy combination with human skin and we react badly with rashes and itching.
Happy Halloween!
