26999-kudzu * Killer Kudzu, native to Asia. This vine was brought into the U.S. in 1876 and promoted as a forage crop. About 77 years later, in 1953, it was recognized as a pest weed and has now been removed from the U.S. Department of Agrigulture's list of permissible cover plants. We saw it throughout Mississippi and into Kentucky and Tennessee. It looks like Mississippi is about to be completely covered over with this. * 800 x 533 * (101KB)

27004-kudzu * Kudzu kills plants and trees by smothering their source of light and nutrients. It also breaks branches and uproots trees just by its weight. It can grow as fast as one foot per day! The massive tap root is 7 or more inches in diameter, 6 or more feet long, and can weigh 400 pounds. * 782 x 503 * (118KB)
