0 a wild plant that spreads easily, quickly covering an area and often growing over other plants and killing them
Kudzu is drought tolerant and only the above ground portions of the plant are damaged by frost.
Kudzu is also a structural parasite, meaning that, rather than supporting itself, it grows on top of other plants and buildings to reach light.
A different survey found twenty-five different species of insect feeding on the kudzu.
By 1946, it was estimated that 1,200,000 ha of kudzu had been planted.
It has a climbing growth pattern similar to kudzu, and will grow into a dense mat when it can not climb.
The proliferation of kudzu has proved difficult to address.
This causes very little harm to the plants that the kudzu plant displaces.
Much of the privately owned cemetery is completely overgrown with kudzu or is returning to forest.
