Where does kudzu come from?
Kudzu came from Japan.kudzu was brought over from Japan to prevent erosion during WWII. It is found mostly in the deep south, which was planted by farmers to prevent their soil from disappearing due to the makeup of the red clay soil in the south. Kudzu cannot be killed successfully unless you burn it, or put chemicals on it 10-20 times. It has destroyed acres upon acres of land by choking out trees and other plants. If you do not know what it is, then I would recommend leaving it that way because you and the rest of your community will have to live with it for a lifetime. Kudzu is the plant of the devil down in Gods country, THE SOUTH!!!J

Where is the kudzu from?
Kudzu is an invasive, introduced, fast-growing vine that is a member of the pea family. It climbs trees, fences, buildings, etc, and trails across the ground to quickly take over property. It chokes out anything else that is in its way and can eventually pull down trees due to the added weight. It can grow one foot per day and the vines will root as they spread across the ground. Gardeners joke about having to grease the kudzu to prevent grass burns on the tender growing shoots. The root system is extensive and hard to kill off. It has not turned out as useful as originally hoped. One of the issues about its spread was that there were no natural controls here. Apparently, the Japanese Kudzu Bug heard of the feast and made its way to Atlanta - and it seems to be having an effect. There is an interesting 2015 article from the Smithsonian Magazine: smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/true-story-kudzu-vine-ate-south-180956325/ The article disputes the claim of millions of acres being covered by the vine. ======================= Kudzu was an introduced species in the late 1800's. it was mainly used to feed farm animals and to reduce soil erosion. it was introduced in the southern United States. Young men were paid to grow this plant, they would make 8 dollars for every acre they grew.Now that it covers over seven million acres of the south there are a lot of people working to get rid of it!
