Yep, you see it on the medians draping many of the trees. Makes them look like ghostly figures. 👻

Yes, it is all over our yard and taking over rapidly. We're not sure what to kill it with that will also be safe for our pets.

It was imported mostly for erosion control in the south. I remember as a kid hearing about it through farming sources. It's a double edged sword, especially here. It provides wildlife cover for areas widely cleared for development.
 
Edited to add: Rabbits tend to like it for cover.

Txbutterfly : you have to keep cutting and treating it until the plant eventually loses energy and dies out. I bought a weed torch for tough to kill weeds and would burn them every weekend

Cattle and goats love it. Wonder if it's edible for humans. Kudzu salad anyone?
Google says: From Georgia to Tennessee, flowering kudzu has been incorporated into everything from pie to wine. "The leaves can be used like spinach and eaten raw, chopped up and baked in quiches, cooked like collards, or deep fried." Barring its seeds and seed pods, the vine that "ate" the South is almost entirely edible.Apr 2, 2024

1ontheroadagain : Cattle is actually the most effective way of controlling it. Sounds like we need to get a bunch of cows out on the greenbelts, LOL
 
ZMAN : damn, folks don't clean up after their dogs. If we have to dodge cow pies gonna be messy!
