Kudzu Vines - History 1876 to 2021 - Positives and Negatives

This is a video that i have wanted to make for a long time. It covers the history of Kudzu including the dust bowl and what is being done to control it naturally. We cover the new hero of the south the Kudzu bug and how it's doing its part to slow the spread.
I also cover the positives and health befits that Kudzu can provide.
We cover why vines like Kudzu could help dry desert climates combat the growing invasive rock and concrete landscapes that are heating up our desert and removing life from our communities.

Thank you for a well-researched and fascinating view of this plant. There are always many sides to a story and you have presented a balanced overview.

Thank you so much for the kudzu video. I moved to the Phoenix area from the south and I never expected to miss kudzu but I do miss seeing the green lush vines everywhere.

Yeah after living in the south im a little depressed with all the brown.

Great info, very interesting and thank you for sharing.

Kudzu likely won't grow well in Arizona. It's dependent on rainfall to do well.

Can you please pinpoint a few locations where I can find the kudzu, like where you are?

[@FruitTree]

It's everywhere in the southern United States

[@amyhoang9140]

@@FruitTree are they trying to spray it down south? I mean it's probably not safe to pick from the public lands?
