Neither. Virginia creeper (*Parthenocissus quinquefolia*). Can still cause rashes.

Virginia creeper can still cause rashes in some poeple, but it’s mostly harmless for many. It’s also a great native plant for birds in North America.

Yep I’m sensitive to Virginia creeper. Battling some right now in my yard between a cement porch and house. Long pants long sleeves gloves. When I’m done I take a shower. Same way I handle poison ivy if I don’t I’m covered with these little red bumps that itch.

On the positive side, it can turn a really nice red in the fall and provides habitat for insects. Never experienced a rash.

Does Virginia creeper damage the trees it climbs to grow? I’ve got pretty aggressive growth up a couple of trees in my patch of woods. The creeper is pretty enough, but it doesn’t grow edible berries…
