poison ivy?
Hi, I have never posted on this board, but I need help identifying this plant. It is growing up our wooden pole, that holds our direct tv dish. Thanks for you help!

Re: poison ivy?
This is Virginia Creeper, or Parthenocissus quinquefolia.
Yep, this is Virginia Creeper (in the grape family; though not edible). It has 5 leaflets that radiate out from a central point. The Latin name "quinquefolia" actually means 5 leaves. Occasionally the leaflets will come in threes (e.g. on young plants), but they'll always radiate out from a central point.
Like pp said, poison ivy has three leaflets, and the middle one is on a longer stalk than the lower two. Also, the two lower leaves often have a "mitten" like shape, with a larger "thumb" tooth on the outer edge. See, for example:
