  1. The worst offense to me is that people in the South where I live think balloonvine is poison ivy. Balloonwine is a climbing plant that vines out and crawls all over other plants and trees. It grows box-shaped "fruit" with seeds inside. It grows red and blue/black berries as well, and it's also somewhat shiny when young especially. We also have poison ivy in our yard, and that stuff grows like a tree and into bushes. It's leaves are large and smoother, and shiny from the oil as well. Way different when they mature.

  2. What I looked for:
    1. 3 leaves
    2. Middle leaf longer steam
    3. This is the big one – middle leave is symmetrical (or pretty darn close), and the two side leaves (the gloves) mirror one another
