Leaves of three let it be! Looks like a young growth of poison ivy starting to take hold...

Poison ivy, no doubt. I have tons here. Get ahold of it now because it's really invasive.

poison ivy for sure, don't let it get on your skin or your pets.

Actually, I don't think so. Unless there are different kinds in different locations. This is what my poison ivy looks like:

Definetly Young Poison Ivy. Annie's is another type of Poison Ivy. Living on a farm we have the pleasure of trying to get rid of both types.

Thank you for that picture, Annie of Wilton CT, I've never seen that kind and information is power, or protection in this case!

It is poison ivy. It does have many different looks (even depending on the season).

Leaves of three, let it be! Don't touch it. Put Roundup on it!

I don't think it's poison ivy. The three leaves seem to grow from a common point, not two opposing and the third on a longer stem- an indicator for poison ivy.

Definitely not poison ivy. Poison oak grows on bushes . This looks like my new growth roses.

Well from my childhood experience, it looks like "Poison oak". Poison oak has 3 leaves and shiny. Any who..., I hope not, for your sake. That stuff and I never got along, I got it from a mile away. I was an awful broke out itchy mess a few times more then I liked. Check with your county extension agent. Marla

The stalks look reddish to me which looks exactly like the poison ivy outside my home. Get it now because it becomes very, very invasive! The old addage "Leaves of three let them be" is true. I have the trifecta of evil: Poison Ivy, Poison Oak and Poison Sumac. Yay me. I leave it on the side of the house where my troublesome neighbor is. I also have a version of night shade growing. I wonder if she'd like some tea...just kidding.

Does it have blossoms, and if so what do they look like.

If it grows little red berries, then it is Tea Berry's. They grow in parts of Jersey. And yes it is edible.

Poison ivy, I think. Do not touch it.

It isn't poison ivy.... or oak.... I don't know the name of it but looks like a ground cover with the runners. I've seen it before.

That single stalk contains growing regions found in the nodes called meristematic regions where a leaf, a branch, or flower may emerge. At seedling stage the nodes are very near to each other, so when the leaf develops it formed a rosette pattern, Later when the stalk or stem elongate the individual leaf can be distinguished now from each individual node, By the way, a stem or stalk is divided into nodes and internodes. The seedlings in the pic are​ at 3-leaf stage common among tree species.

Certainly looks like poison ivy. Be very cautious with it.

Give it a bit more time to grow & develop into something more easily identifiable (add pictures later in the summer/fall) .... in the meantime - refrain from eating it.

Looks like a trilliam

I think it maybe a trillion(pretty sure that that is the name. I know that it begins with tri.... But if that is the plant it will blossom with the most amazing three pedal flowers, hence the tri... name. To me it looks more along that line , especially seeing where it is located. Usually and poisons... like ivy, do not tend to grow in the wild like this one appears to be doing.

The name you are looking for is trillium, which happens to be the official Provincial flower here in Ontario. And no, I do not think the plant in question is a trillium.

This would be after the flower has died off.

It looks a lot like poison ivy. I'm not an expert on poison ivy, but I'd be careful not to touch it! Poison ivy will keep adding twigs with three leaves as it gets bigger. See http://www.poisonoakandpoisonivy.com/Resources/Sure-Fire.%20ONLINE%20%20with%20cover%20copy.pdf
