What is Kudzu? Known as “mile-a-minute” and “the vine that ate the South,” this creeping, climbing perennial vine terrorizes native plants all over the southeastern United States and is making its way into the Midwest, Northeast and even Oregon. Kudzu—or kuzu (クズ)—is native to Japan and southeast China.
