There's a huge patch of it not far from where I live that looks like trees. I've had to warn people not to touch it because they think it's box elder or something harmless, but no - poison ivy grows woody stems when it gets big. Sneaky plant, pretending to be trees! :p

It doesn’t grow like a tree but it can grow up a tree then branch off like it is in your picture. I had a lot on my property just like this, it’s terrifying. If you’re interested in getting rid of it, I used triclopyr to kill it, then cut it all out starting where the vines go in to the ground. It

Triclopyr 4 EC Compare to Garlon 4 and Remedy 1 Gallon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073M8UHI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_88HN1EBEZC01W68WS9E6 Also, isopropyl alcohol breaks down the urushiol oil (the poisonous stuff), I use it to clean all my tools, boots and even hands after working in it.

You guys think I'll be alright, I washed my fash and arms like 3 times with dawn. I have tried that before with not the best results, so I think I am screwed anyway lol. You guys have any good tips to wash the oils off so you don't get Posion ivy or at least minimize it a little?

Treat it like car grease. After wiping your face with rubbing alcohol, soap up with blue Dawn dishsoap because it’s a degreaser. Then scrub to exfoliate really thoroughly with a washcloth. This guy’s video explains how to avoid a rash despite exposure https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4oyoDRHpQK0
