How close is the kudzu?
It's still down the road a piece.





Once when I stopped to tie my shoe the tendrils started snaking my way out of the gutter. Luckily the caw of a raven caught my attention. So I stood up and quickly walked away.
Reply:Not likely it will make it Michigan, is it? IS it? How can something so cool looking be so destructive?
Reply:It's right outside the door, and it's creeping me out.
Reply:The proximity of kudzu(x) to me(y) is directly proportionate to the speed(z) of kudzu. Therefore the intersection of x,y will occur approximately (x+y)/z*pi.





Which is way too close to me, I'm packing my bags and heading to antartica.

Are the kudzu leaves edible?

Yes...I've had 'em on a salad, but they just tasted about like any leafy green that was shredded. Some places actually batter the leaves and fry 'em...

Reply:yes you can eat kudzu leaves!!! I saw Alton Brown's new show, Feasting on Asphalt, and he stopped on the side of the road where a whole lot of kudzu was growing. He just picked it and ate it right there!!! Just make sure it's fresh, not brown and without any pestisides on it.
Reply:Kudzu is edible. The leaves and the roots. Roots can be used to thicken liquids in cooking in a similar way to cornstarch. Just be careful if you go out to pick it along side the road. Make sure pesticides haven't been sprayed on it. Also if it's near a heavily traveled road, maybe don't pick that Kudzu because of car exhaust on it and you can get hit by a car.





The Japanese have used Kudzu for a long time. It was brought by the Japanese to America about 100 years ago and Kudzu liked the conditions in the South. It will grow a foot a day and can cover anything in it's path.

Can Iguanas eat Kudzu?

My bunny loves it, and I know cows can eat it, and people can eat it, but is it ok for Iguanas? There's so much of it around, and it's a lot fresher and of better quality than the greens I find in the stores where I live. I don't use any sort of pesticides in my yard. I know it's high in protein, so they can't have too much of it, but would it be ok in moderation?

Can Iguanas eat Kudzu?
Kudzu is a great snack for any animal. If you iguana likes it, I'd definitely throw a few leaves in. Interestingly enough I have one dragon that hates the stuff, and another that loves it.





In regards to greens - try growing some. Collard greens are extremely hardy plants that can grow year round, even through frozen winters. Even mustard greens can grow well year round in areas where it doesn't freeze too much. They take very little work to grow.

What is kudzu (not sure if spelled correctly)?

extremely invasive vine that is not native to North America and I'veseen it completely cover small houses. It smothers trees and covers everything in it's way in warm weather- growing EXTREMELY fast.


Here's a great website about it's history:

What is kudzu (not sure if spelled correctly)?
it is a vine that grows crazy in America (mostly Georgia) and was brought here to stop erosion. if u have any of it in your yard take it out immediately or it will take over everything.
Reply:Kudzu is a very invasive vine that can destroy even the tallest of trees, you would not want it growing in your backyard of you have invested any money in it. It suffocates the plants and moves out and up in a very linear pattern.


I wish you would have told me what your interest is, so I could offer some assistance in dealing with this horrible species.
Reply:The Japanese brought this plant over during the Worlds fair in New York in the early 1900's.It was sold to keep erosion down. Although it dies down in the winter, here in Georgia it is killing the trees. I read somewhere that you can actually watch it grow. This is not a plant anyone needs to have on their property. If you do have it spray it with round up until it is completely dead. This is the deadliest plant to have in our environment. I don't understand why the state of Georgia has not tried to eradicate it, I guess the EPA in Ga. aren't to bright.

Kudzu seeds?

I want to plant kudzu in my house in Mexico. It's in the desert, so I think it won't be as invasive and destructive as it has been in some parts the U.S.A.


Where can I get the seeds? Will the US government forbid me dealing with kudzu even if it's for my own use and I won't plant it in the USA?

Kudzu seeds?
yes they will. kudzu grows wildly and if it starts it wont stop growing
