Does kudzu grow in OK?
Yes, it does grow in some areas unfortunately. I hope for your sake that it doesn't in your area, and for goodness sake, don't plant it. It's pretty much a scourge here in Alabama. Not only does it completely take over and canopy entire areas of forest, it's dangerous in that it can camaflouge an entire ravine and steep hillsides. It was a battle with the farmers when I was growing up, but I've never seen it as bad as it is now.
Does kudzu grow in OK?
I assume you mean, does in grow in Oklahoma? If so, yes in some areas, but is not as widely invasive as in the Southeastern US. If you mean can i grow it in Oklahoma, then PLEASE DON'T!!!
Reply:Geeeeez, kudzu is death. I don't mean a little, either. It will take over your yard, your neighbors, and everyone in the entire area. It can crawl up and over, vining trees all the way to the top. It sucks the light and life out of everything. NEVER EVER PLANT KUDZU. I'd sue someone who planted that stuff.
Reply:OK is vague. I suggest it "TAKES OVER", and in my case, in Central Florida, I pull it out. Beyond its damaging effects to other plant life it leeches on to, it had a scent that is mildly offensive to me.

Reply:I wouldn't think so. It's not humid enough. Tell you what, I have a friend in AL where it grows faster than weeds. I'll ask her and maybe she would know.

Where can i buy the plant or seeds of the vine kudzu please help me?
Kudzu is VERY invasive and will take over everything! I'm not sure you can get seeds for it because everyone is always trying to get rid of it!
Where can i buy the plant or seeds of the vine kudzu please help me?
Try e-bay, I found some hard to find seed there. good luck
Reply:kudzu is a very invasive plant that's is outlawed in many states.It is a parasite plant. There are many vines which grow at comparable rates if taken care of,please try one of them.
Reply:Hahaha. It's illegal to transport seeds , cuttings or roots across state lines. If this is a serious question, try Ipomea (Sweet Potato) vine for a similar tropical look with a high growth rate. It has several shades from a lime green to a dark purple.

Anybody got any recipes calling for kudzu(sp?)?
I live in GA and the stuff grows everywhere! You can't kill it and it chokes out everything around it. A friend said she'd heard of kudzu jelly. I'm curious.
Anybody got any recipes calling for kudzu(sp?)?
according to Wikepedia:
The non-woody parts of the plant are edible. The young leaves can be used for salad or cooked as a leaf vegetable; the flowers battered and fried (like squash flowers); and the starchy tuberous roots can be prepared as any root vegetable.
Reply:Culinary
The starchy roots are ground into a fine powder and used for varieties of Wagashi and herbal medicines. When added to water and heated, kudzu powder becomes clear and adds stickiness to the food. The name Kudzu appeared first in Kojiki and Nihonshoki as a type of vine or Kazura (葛 or 蔓) used commonly by the people who lived in Kudzu (国栖), area around present-day Yoshino, Nara prefecture. It is unclear whether the name was taken from the people or the name of the plant was applied to the people. Kudzu has been in use for over 1300 years and it is speculated that it goes back even further. In the Nara and Heian era, records had been found that they were collected and sent as a part of tax. Even today, "Yoshino Kudzu" has the best image of kudzu powder yet. Kagoshima prefecture is the largest producer of kudzu products.

Well, if you must - talk to some people who like it and know how to control it. Try the "contact" link on the web-page below and they should be able to help you.
I want to buy kudzu vine i want to plant it in my home?
Kudzu is edible, has a handsome flower, and grows RAPIDLY!
It is classified as a 'noxious weed' in most areas due to its invasive growth.
Brought here _by the government_ to control erosion, it has no natural 'predators' in this country so it runs wild.
If you do find some and plant it on your property, it will soon cover your house, garage (if any), the rest of your yard, fences, neighboring structures...it is not a nice plant; not for here anyway.
Reply:If you come to Georgia where I live, all you have to do is stand still for about 4 or 5 mintues and kudzu will start to grow up your leg.
Seriously, it is a major-league invasive vine. It can completely cover a house in one growing season. Better think twice!
Reply:I've never heard of anyone selling it, and in fact in some places there are laws against importing it.
It doesn't matter whether you give a *** or not if it's illegal- you can't buy it.
Get another plant.
Reply:Did a little looking around on the net. that is one crazy vine man! It says that it can grow up to 3 ft. in a day! Why would you want that in your house?!
Reply:Due to the invasive nature of Kudzu it is tightly controlled by the government. I would recommend Ivy.
Reply:It's probably a crime to do so in many states.

How do I kill kudzu?
8 goats per acre.... if you like goats. If not, you must be very persistent in controlling this weed. It is very difficult to control and takes time.
You have got to kill the root. Hand pull as much of the plant as you can, weed the plant before it flowers, dig the roots out of the ground. If any piece of the root is left, it can produce another plant. Put the debris in a plastic bag.
Once you get rid of the plants (hopefully the problem is not out of control!), keep an eye on the area and continue to weed it out. If you try any chemical applications, you will more than likely need to do repeat applications. I am not sure of any products that are available for residential/homeowner use, you could always try Roundup (follow label recommendations).

Why does kudzu grow so fast compared to traditional ground cover?
Kudzu is just an aggressive type of plant, you can't really compare it to dyanthis or ivy or thrift ect.... Also, murphy's law has alot to do with it.

Sorry, I grew up in Atlanta.
Kudzu....everywhere.
Kudzu is so prominent that they even named the new baby gorilla at Zoo Atlanta Kudzu.
And I believe that the motto of the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper is , "Covering the South like Kudzu!"
Kudzu was originally brought to the Southeast to help prevent land erosion.
Especially in Georgia where that Georgia red clay washes right away.
But it very quickly got out of hand.
The stuff is 1000 times worse than Ivy.
It grows EVERYWHERE.
It's impossible to kill.
And it grows QUICKLY....VERY quickly.
It actually grows OVER NIGHT.
Over the many, many years, there have been thousands of stories about the "uses" of Kudzu.
All jokes.
I do believe that there is NO REAL useful purpose of Kudzu.
It's only a vine with no redeeming qualities.....but it DOES smell good when it blooms.
I guess if someone could find a useful purpose for Ivy vine, the Kudzu vine would be the best bet since it does grow so fast.
I am wondering if some Southerner with a warped sense of humor is trying to pull one over on you.
It is a pastime...like telling Yankees that Grits grow on Grit Trees.
But thank you for reminding me of Kudzu.
It made me smile.

Reply:The name comes from Japanese kuzu (葛), meaning vine.
Reply:Kudzu is a vine now common to the southern United States, and tends to grow rapidly. It is known to overtake large areas in a short time period if not controlled.

However, given its growth potential and abundance, if it can be used, someone will find out.
Reply:Kudzu is a plant that grows wild in the southern regions of the US. I grew up with kudzu growing everywhere on the highways and in old neglected areas of the city. It is a plant that grows wild now but was imported from Japan and China (kudzu means vine) as decorative plant to prevent ground erosion. It is pretty but I am not sure that is would be useful for the production of ethenol. Typically you need some type of vegetation that produces an oil.. such as soybean or corn.. these can be made into a fuel.. not sure if kudzu produces enough oil.. but it is pretty to look at

Reply:Kudzu in a new ecosystem began to choke out other vegetation. Growing up in Alabama, I often saw entire groves of trees choked out by kudzu.
The South is home to at least three species of poisonous snakes, and Southerners prefer not to step into tangles of vines if they can help it. Even so, some folks have found uses for kudzu. I once knew a woman who made kudzu blossom wine.
Reply:Kudzu is a Japanese plant used to cover bare spots on the ground. It was released here in the US and it has taken over a lot of areas in the Southern US. It doesn't stand up to the freezing temperatures of winter well.
Ethanol is mostly made by fermenting organic material. Corn works well for this, but lots of things can be fermented to make ethanol. Apples, barley, etc. I suppose someone could invent a means to ferment kudzu to ethanol but kudzu would have to be rich in starches for this to work well. I don't see the advantage in doing it.

Okay, now that I know more about Kudzu, is it illegal to plant it in Ohio???
Hi:
I have to agree with the answer of don't plant it. I live in South Carolina and Kudzu will take over any landscape area. Kudzu was actually exported to the United States many years ago. It was planted a lot in the southern United States. It will die out in the winter, but during the spring and summer, it will flourish all over. Kudzu is worse then ivy and can take over trees, shrubs and anything else. I will link you to the site map of my website, as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through as there is a gallery of plants section as well as more plant specimens in the variety of more plants. See if you can find something that will enhance your landscape other then take over it like Kudzu will. Good luck to you and have a great day!

Write an expression that shows how much a 20-ft kudzu vine can grow during August.?
Kudzu is a vine native to Japan. Kudzu can grow a foot per day during the summer months. Write an expression that shows how much a 20-foot kudzu vine can grow during August.
Write an expression that shows how much a 20-ft kudzu vine can grow during August.?
Given that there are 31 days in August
y = 20 + x
x represent the day in August and y will give you the length of Kudzu on at end of that day.
I hope this helped

Okay, now that you all chastised me, I didn't receive an answer. Does anyone sell Kudzu?
Kudzu is an Invasive species, and is illegal to sell in most states.
Does anyone know where i can find the kudzu DNA sequence?
Im looking for a site, book, or other media which can help me find(if already identified) the genetic information about Kudzu. I am relatively new to the genetic modification field and wish to learn which protein is responsible for the amazing growth they show(up to a foot a day). I was told to check the scientific journals but i need clearance from a university in order to read most of the articles.
Would appreciate the help is anyone can.

Google "GeneBank". It should have a DNA sequence for Kudzu if it has been sequenced.

Where can you buy kudzu vine?
First off, why would you want to? Its a weed and you can't kill it. It just keeps growing.. Not a very wise thing to do.
Where can you buy kudzu vine?
If you come and remove all my Japanese Knotweed I will personally plant the kudzu for you.
Reply:You actually WANT Kudzu? Here in the south it is known to have covered up homes overnight after a good rain! ;) Look for a nursery in the south east.
Reply:Kudzu vines are considered very invasive in several states. Kudzu vines have over taken many of the natural plants that grow in our forests. These vines strangle trees and once they go to seed they travel miles via birds and spread like wildfire. Unless you have plans to grow it inside your home they will never have the right conditions to flower and set seed.
To answer your question they are illegal to sell in several states due to the above reasons. I have no idea where you are located. My best suggestion is to call your local county extension and they will steer you in the right direction.
Reply:That vine is not good for the environment. It will snuff out a pine tree 100 feet tall. Looks like a mess.
Reply:I can't imagine why you would want to get kudzu. It overgrows other plants, including trees, and takes over. It was a foreign plant and was brought over here and planted. As often happens with plants or animals relocated to a place where they are not native, and have no controls in nature, it began to take over. Although it is pretty, it is considered a noxious weed and probably should not be started in a new place.

Are there any new products on the market for killing Kudzu?
Most of the better products that do a good job on Kudzu are not available to homeowners.
Not sure if you've already tried to use any of the products that contain the active ingredient; "Triclopyr". You can it find being sold under the names of "Brush-B-Gone" or "Brush-Killer" at the hardware stores. It was made specifically to control hard-to-kill brush and vine species and works better than Roundup.
There are two ways you can use it to control Kudzu;
1) Use a 2% solution (2 1/2 oz. Triclopyr per One gallon of water) and spray the entire vine. I'd recommend using a "Spreader-Sticker" to insure proper coverage and to get more of the mixture into the vine. You can find a "spreader-sticker" at some of the hardware stores OR at one of your local Agricultural Supply stores.
OR
2) Cut the vines back to soil level and use a 25% solution (5 oz. Triclopyr per One gallon of water) and apply it (with a paintbrush or spray) onto the cut surfaces within 10 minutes after cutting. Again, it's better if you use some spreader-sticker when using this method.
Triclopyr does not kill grasses and works best when applied while the weather is cooler (such as mornings rather than in the afternoons).
Hope this information was of some help. Good luck!

Sorry, not yet. Control of well-established kudzu stands can take up to 10 years. Persistent eradication of all roots is the key to the control of this pest, keeping in mind that a single kudzu patch may extend past property lines. Small patches of kudzu that are not well established (usually ones less than ten years old) can be eliminated by persistent weeding, mowing, or grazing during the growing season over a period of three to four years. Unfortunately, with root systems that can be up to 12 feet deep, eradication by direct root removal is not practical. Long-term treatment of heavily infested sites usually requires the application of herbicides over a period of up to five years to inhibit the growth of new shoots. Biodegradable glyphosphate herbicides are recommended for control of kudzu in natural areas. These herbicides break down rapidly into harmless components when exposed to soil. Because glyphosphate is a systemic, non-selective herbicide that affects all green vegetation, treatments should be carefully timed and applied by trained applicators. The best time for application of these herbicides is at the end of the growing season when the plants are actively transporting nutrients from leaves and stems to root systems. When applied at the proper time, herbicides are transported to the roots where they are able to kill the entire plant.

What is the most effective way to kill kudzu?
Dear Angel ...
Use a product called "Roundup".
You can get it at any home supply store like Lowe's.
You spray it onto the leaves and it takes about a week or 10 days to kill the plant.
You might have to spray it 2 or maybe even 3 times, since kudzu is very tough.
What is the most effective way to kill kudzu?
Kudzu is the bane of the South. If only "Roundup" were the answer.The best advice I can give to you is to dig up all the roots, and plant something hardy like junipers where the kudzu was. You don't want to give it room to ever return. Report It
