WTG!!! I think your might be on to something... Trumpet looks real close!! When a new shoot grows it is red, the stem and the little leaves, as you can see in the pic little blurry sorry. This spot in my garden gets all 3 of theses each yr and I have been battling them every yr. but get PI rash every time. Now I am going through Chemo and I need to rid the PI from this garden...but have been afraid to work the area. So it is taking over!! I don't want to get infection from the rash you know...

Use that, then wear long pants, long sleeves and gloves. As soon as you are done, wash clothing in HOT water with a good laundry soap and then go and shower. We had a Boy Scout that this is the only way he could go on camp outs with us. The other option is to hire some one else to clear it for you. If there is nothing in the area worth saving, use a good strong weed killer that specifies poison ivy and kill it all. Please beware though that even dead you can still get the rash form contact and do NOT burn or compost. This will greatly slow down its future return. Quote \| Reply \| Report
