Oh I hate poison ivy! Anytime I work along the Fence line I have to stop and make certain whether I am grubbing up poison ivy and take precautions. Very allergic!
When they put in suburbs here (NE Kansas) the construction companies got the cheapest and fastest growing trees they could to plant, Silver Maples, Siberian elms, Sweet Gum and Ash trees. (I have one of the occassional thornless Honey Locust trees!) They put these out on the street side of the houses and put oak trees in the back. (Near the Power lines of course. ) Seeds and gumballs everywhere!
I can walk through poison ivy with shorts on and it doesn’t bother me. Poison oak is a whole different matter though. There are a couple of pokeweed plants I noticed too. I would have made some Polk salad if I had spotted it earlier, lol. A friend (navy vet) died a couple of years back. His knowledge of medicinal plants found in the wild was astounding. He had a Castor bean plant that was at least 10ft tall and was one of the most spectacular things I’ve ever seen. It was varying shades of red and purple and was more like a tree. He is sorely missed this day.
