My mother disagrees, but I think it's unusual to see both Virginia creeper and poison ivy growing on the same tree. This photo, taken along one of West Marlborough's beautiful gravel roads (long may they remain unpaved!), provides a nice lesson in plant identification. Virginia creeper has five leaflets, and it's green. Poison ivy has three leaflets, and it's shiny and greenish-brown.
