Here is a picture of some of the #kudzu on our property. And a perfect example of why our laws on plant and seed import are so important. My father in law says that there is a legend here, that a lady went to Japan, and loved the way it looked, so she poached some cuttings and brought them back home with her. I can see the beauty in it; however, in the winter when all the green is gone, and you can see the complete devastation of dead trees underneath, it’s not beautiful at all.
Girl we have 2000 acres of it!! @cyndi and u are right, the key to removing it, is persistence. I keep it out of my yard, away from fences, chicken coop, pig pen, garden, etc. but if we miss a stretch of fence one year, it will be on the ground next year. But I’m excited to read your links. I just read a couple days ago, that some record holding tomato grower says his secret is kudzu compost. So, I’m excited that even if I can’t remove it completely, I can find some uses for it.
There are some places around here that are kudzu sculptures. It is very cool looking but, as you say Haley, @haleyt901 underneath it's not pretty at all.
I love kudzu but it is very invasive. I wonder what it would do as an indoor plant... Like Ivy but wouldn't be able to proliferate like it does outside.
