Ginny, First of all let me say tat Sea Isle City is one of my most favorite places in NEW JERSEY AS FAR AS POSIONESS STUFF, LIKE PISION IVY, SUMAC, POISIN IVY . WE HAVE POISIONWOOD... LONG DARK GREENSHINEY LEAVES WITH A LIGHT GREEN VEIN DOWN THE CENTER. THE BERRIES ARE TE MAIN DIET OF THE WHITE CROWNED PIDGEON. AMAZING HOW THEY ARE NOT ADVERSELY AFFECTED. BUT HUMAN CONTACT IS ALMOST ALWAYS VERY BADAN EXTREME CASE REQUIRES I.V. STERIODS.i geuss a bad case of poision ,Sumac will do the same if a prson is extremely sensitive. Be happy you don't have to deal with this particular plant. It gets quite tall. Lee-in-the-Keys ------------------------------ Sent from my PocketMail Handheld http://www.pocketmail.com
