I think this is poison oak so I sprayed something to kill this. There are three leaves on each stem but the leaf isn't shaped exactly the way I thought poison oak leaves are shaped. You can see the spray is doing its job but it's cropping up all over the yard after all these rains. If it's not poisonous I can weed it, otherwise I'll have to keep spraying these things.

No. It appears to be fuzzy, which poison oak is not. I can't tell the leaf arrangement from the picture. Remember the "famous" poem:
Leaves of three, let it be
If it's hairy, its a berry (this refers to thorns as well as hairiness)
If it's shiny, watch your hiny.


Poison oak can be a small plant, a vine, a shrub, a hedge. In the fall, the stems and some of the leaves will get red. It loses its leaves for winter, but the stems retain the irritating oil, and are just as bad as the leaves in giving you the rash.

It has leaves of three, it's fuzzy. So I don't know what it is. I sprayed weed killer on it to be safe.

I agree with Grasshopper: It is NOT poison oak.
