I've got a ton of this stuff growing along the fence in my backyard where my dog plays and trying to figure out if it's one of the toxic ones like poison ivy or poison oak. What are your thoughts?
Much appreciated,
Matt in Atlanta

THe first few picts are definitely poison ivy. Leaves of 3 is the classic definition of PI but it also has leaves leaving the main stem alternately rather than adjacently to each other. The pictures, while difficult to spot, seem to show an alternate growth pattern so PI for the win! Or for you, the loss. That stuff is evil.

THe last few picts are heavenly bamboo.
