Yes, you can plant poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) although it most likely is not a good idea to do so.
Specifically, poison ivy attracts wildlife, which are completely unreactive to contact with the plant's painfully irritating urushiol oil. But if it is not already on your property, then it is risky to plant it. The oil is released anytime there is a break or bruise to any one of the plant's body parts. Chances are strong that planting will cause such to happen no matter how cautious you are.
There is an equally good chance that poison ivy will establish itself naturally. It favors disturbed ground, and with all of the development going on, what ground is immune to disturbance? In this case, it is important to cover up any time you are near the plant, take a shower afterwards and wash your clothing separately from the usual household load of laundry.

∙ 14y agoYes. The reaction to poison ivy [Toxicodendron radicans] is considered the entry level allergic response to urushiol oil. For a reaction to poison oak [Toxicodendron toxicarium] tends to be more severe. And so if the ivy results in hurting and itching like fury, then the oak will be even more so.
