The ubiquitous poison oak plants become even more red and start to pick up a bit of yellow/brown late in the season. The plant is widespread in wild areas of the state, ranging from coastal bluffs to oak forests to scrub brush, and California hikers soon learn how to identify it. The red leaves are a clue, but the oak shaped leaves in groups of three can mostly confirm it. (Though some wild berry plants have a similar appearance — but their stems have thorns, which are lacking on poison oak.)…continues: <a href="https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/10/14/poison-oak-2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gdanmitchell.com/2024/10/14/po</span><span class="invisible">ison-oak-2/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/poisonoak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poisonoak</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plants</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/redwoodforest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>redwoodforest</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/bigsur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bigsur</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a></p>
