I did some reading about it at the time, but didn't realize that it had ben intentionally planted.Beatrice P.

Oddly, it doesn't grow deep in the woods—only at the edge of them—because it needs sunlight. I've heard it was originally used as a "porch plant" to give privacy to the folks using the porch. A good article about it is here: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/true-story-kudzu-vine-ate-south-180956325/<br />My fear is that, if the piplelne ever goes through, someone will think it would be great to cover the damage quickly with fast-growing vegetation, and kudzu will fill the bill.Becky Mushkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11833297935575559624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-56147982212425550652017-07-12T14:48:57.454-04:002017-07-12T14:48:57.454-04:00Interesting.
