Is this poisionous?

This is growing near my Mexican Plum. Any precautions before I pull it?

here's a link to pictures of poison ivy , oak and sumac but it doesn't look like any of them

best bet would be wear gloves, long sleeves and jeans

is it a fig? lee

It could be Morus rubra, Texas Red Mulberry

There is a fig tree nearby and at first I thought it probably was a fig....and thought "how dumb am I?" But the leaves have that toothy edge like the mulberry. Thanks!

This is a mulberry. Pull it now before it gets huge and takes over like mine did...! Not poisonous, just considered sort of a "garbage" tree around here and a magnet for bag worms.

Thanks. I guess nobody wants it unless we are having white elephant gift exchange.
Thanks Mibus for the reference. I'll bookmark it.

I dug it out today. It was HARD to do. The roots were in between the Mexican plum's and every time I stood up I got stabbed my the MP. I hope it's not one of those plants that will grow from a piece of root left.

Thanks for asking about this one. I had wondered what it was as I have a volunteer growing up in the middle of an old Spirea. Not sure whether to whack it off or dig. The latter is not a choice I look forward to.
