Midwest Weeds & Invasive Plants: Kudzu Vine71

Midwest Weeds & Invasive Plants: Kudzu Vine

Kudzu (Pueraria montana) is a highly invasive deciduous, semi-woody, perennial vine. Kudzu kills trees, shrubs, and crops by girdling them. Girdling cuts off water and nutrient movement within the plants. Kudzu can also kill trees and shrubs by shading them out, and can even break branches and uproot plants due to the vine's weight. Kudzu even degrades air quality and attributes to pollution. Eradication and control is essential in combating the invasive vines.
