Brian Campbell, Basswood Artisan Carpentry on Jan 16, 2013"Leaves of 3, let it be. Berries white, a poisonous sight." @KMS Woodworks It is common in the Black Forest near Colorado Springs. Often on south facing slopes between 6,000 and 7,000 feet in elevation.Helpful Reply

Brian Campbell, Basswood Artisan Carpentry on Jan 17, 2013In some places it grows along with Rhus trilobata, which has edible berries... but the two are not easily confused. Just investing that members of the same genus can be poisonous or edible. Good to know your stuff, before grazing.Helpful Reply

Acorn Ponds & Waterfalls on Jan 19, 2013I hope you don't have too much that Poison Ivy @Pat S! Be very careful while removing@. Wear gloves, long sleeve shirts and long pants. To be extra safe wear goggles, dust mask and be sure to wash your clothes separately afterwards. We also have that here in Rochester NY. It really likes to grow around trees.Helpful Reply
