Hi All,
I would appreciate it if you could settle and argument between my wife and I. I believe these are young blackberry vines and she thinks they're poison ivy. Maybe it's a combo of both, but I'm not sure.
Thanks,

Not poison ivy, but you both could be wrong so don’t celebrate yet.
Boston Ivy?
Its not blackberry but i think its closely related. Best guess: swamp dewberry
Are there anything resembling thorns or fuzzy baby thorns, that would make it in the bramble family
If it’s hairy, it’s a berry
If it’s shiny, watch your hiney
I think blackberry or dewberry
This doesn’t look like poison ivy or blackberry to me. I actually think it might be raspberry, but it’s definitely a rubus of some kind.
100% in the Rubus family cant say exactly which species, but let it grow, and if/when it makes a berry you can eat it. It might not be super tasty, but it wont make you sick
Definitely not poison ivy. Poison ivy has smoother leaves without so much serration.
Not poison ivy. (The notches are wrong, the leaf shape is wrong, and the veins are wrong.)
Neither.
Maybe yellow avens, *Geum aleppicum* or white avens, *Geum canadense*
Wild strawberries
Looks like dewberry/trailing blackberry we get in the pnw. What area/region are you in? Very aggressive but native to our area. No huge canes with giant thorns but its sneaky and takes over before you realize it. It can completely cover a 2yd pile os mulch in one growing season so keep on top of it.
The leaves look pretty similar to my dewberry
I am presuming you are located in the Eastern USA.
Rubus flagellaris:
Leaves alternate, compound, mostly 3-divided, broadly oval with coarse teeth. The 2 lateral leaflets sometimes have a pointed lobe each.

The two base leaves of the three on Poison Ivy sort of look like mittens with little thumbs sticking out.
Definitely not poison anything. Will give you berries.
Probably dewberry. Wild Blackberry grows more as a shrub/stalk.
I think it’s wild strawberry. It’s definitely not poison ivy. Wild strawberry makes runners and each place they touch dirt they root and create another plant which sends out runners. I know folks love it but I pull it like it’s my job
Most def NOT poison ivy. Doesn’t really look like a blackberry either.
