Yeah it confused me a lot too a few months ago, until I realized it was the same vine. Then I thought someone grafted the two together for a second until it hit me that wouldn't work.
It took me a couple years to figure out this same thing for myself. It really was confusing at first, and I have an abundance of both surrounding my yard.
I've taken Virginia Creeper many times as a tea. Especially if u find one that has a good tender root. And actually made contact with good soil. And did need to run across the ground as a vine to find good soil.. I'm an ex addict. It's the Best feeling I've ever had in my life! Out of any meds or plants. Not the one that runs like a vine. The ones that actually find soil to grow in! Incredible!
Thanks for the video. My ID method is to focus on the leaflet stalks within the compound leaf, a petiolule. Poison ivy will always have a significantly longer petiolule going to the central leaflet, while the two side leaflet petiolules will be very short. Virginia creeper has petiolules of roughly the same length no matter the number of leaflets. So, I have to ask- do you know you were rubbing poison ivy at 2:15? edit: And into 2:16
@@TrilliumWildEdibles Awesome, I just wondered because the PI was tucked in a sequence of creeper shots (and you touched it instead of using a stick, like earlier PI shots). It should be said that those who aren't allergic to urushiol can develop the allergy after successive exposures, I saw it happen once- he was an oozing mess. I told him not to do it, we were landscaping. I've always been highly allergic.
Both give me a rash but its worse with PI. Both do tend to grow together on my fences. Now throw kudzu in the mix. That stuff will eat you alive, and I try to pull it down off the trees to keep it from killing all my trees. Problem is, mixed in is poison ivy and I usually figure that out after I pulled down some vines and find the Ivy vine clinging to the tree.
I dont bother much with either. Pulled many small p ivy, ok if it's an infestation i wear gloves, but usually not. Wash well with soap and water. Guess I am blessed not reacting much at all?
And the endless study of poison ivy continues. Thanks for this.
Now, I'm a little more confused, thanks to the Virginia creeper. Lol😂

I've been seeing that a lot this year. Thanks Josh!
Thank you for explaining what ive been TRYING to tell some folks but not having the reason to my tongue to explain it.
And then there's the unfortunate folks like my FIL with an allergy to virginia creeper that rivals a typical response to poison ivy.
My mom has the same issue with Virginia Creeper so I'm the one that pulls it out of her garden.
Same!
I get worse rashes from Virginia creeper than poison ivy. Pure misery.
Good informational video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
You're very welcome!

Very interesting. What is it like ?
Is there i way i can buy some from you since i dont get out much thesedays ?
I'm still not taking any chances. When in doubt leave it out.
Hey that's perfectly okay! I employ the same strategy a lot.
Very interesting

I'm well aware and was aware when I filmed the video that came from, as that's from a video i uploaded about 7 years ago . I'm not allergic to it.

Interesting!
Indeed!
I thought so too and am glad to see others think so!
still cant tell the difference even though we compared lol

The roots when it's climbing is a dead give away. The PI looks like a hairy rope, so don't be a dope!
But since i react to both lol i'll do my best to stay away
Doesnt make a difference, destroy both at all opportunities. Besides being poison they both climb and do damage though different in types and ways.
