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.

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.
