Is this poisonous ?

Hello,

I have been told that there was poison ivy in my backyard last summer. I am getting a bit paranoid by all this. I have just found over 20 of these (picture attached) plants with 3 leaves. Would these be something poisonous like poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac ?

Regards,

Maple seedlings -- note the opposite pairs of buds.

 

Here is another picture of a plant with similar leaves but the plant itself is much larger. It is 4 foot tall but the leaves are still small.



Thanks again :)

I hope I am just paranoid.

Daniel,

I really appreciate.

Thanks!!


Do you know where I could find pictures of poison ivy stems ? I could only find pictures of large ones.

Regards,

Chandi

 

A photo of one if you scroll down this page: Poison Ivy (note: alternate buds on the stem)

Alternate vs. opposite leaves
