I think that's poison ivy...

How you can tell if a plant is poison ivy:

* Alternating leaves with 3 leaflets per leaf
* Middle leaflet on longer stem and generally with a point
* Irregular teeth and / or lobes on the leaflets
* Vining habit (going up that tree)
* Axilliary flowers (coming from that point where the leaf grows from the vine)
* Yellowish small, simple flowers
* Aerial rootlets which help the vine to cling

This photo was taken from a really good site called Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac Information Center go to: http://poisonivy.aesir.com/view/welcome.html

Remember:

Leaves of three, let them be...
