Notes:
Saw this in the Savannah area in the Spring. Plant was a vine, but vine was not hairy. The length of the center petiole seems too long to be poison ivy. Any ideas?

There’s nothing extraordinary about a lack of lobed leaves in a given colony of poison ivy.

I don’t live in Savannah so I cannot report what the berries look like now. I also find it odd that none of the leaves have any lobing. However, if I were betting, I wouldn’t put any money on this not being poison ivy. Just wanted to get some other opinions. Seems the consensus is, that this is the real deal.

The berries look like poison ivy, too. Box elder produces a winged seed, being in the maple genus (Acer).

It occurs to me that a young box elder can look a lot like poison ivy, but I wouldn’t think one that young would produce any berries at all, and those don’t look quite right anyway.

That’s amazing. My first jump would definitely be to poison ivy. Let us know what color the berries resolve to when ripe!

Looks like poison ivy to me. LOTS of variability in poison ivy leaves. Could there not be in petiole length?

you’re right…the petiole seems long but the berries and leaves look EXACTLY like poison ivy
