    Box elder. The leaves are in pairs opposite from each other on the stem (poison ivy has alternate leaves) and the newest pair has five leaflets instead of three (only ever three for poison ivy)

    Yup, opposite leaves — Acer negundo.

    If you look closely at the first picture there’s a vine climbing up the box elder. I can’t see well enough to be sure what it is but there’s two things there.

    It’s both. Poison ivy is the vine on your box elder
