- It's everywhere, and growing. Kudzu was once considered an exotic plant, but now we think of it more as a landscaping or agricultural nuisance. The rapidly-growing vine is a real problem in Tennessee, but UT scientists have advice about limiting its spread.

Great informational video about Kudzu! It helped me learn more about it for Science Olympiad. That stuff is everywhere!
it's so quick you might actually see it grow before your eyes
kudzu is actually pretty healthy and can be used as food. people should use the plant, not just kill it with herbicides
You are AWESOME. Good to know I'm not the only one thinking like this.
it was introduced to counter desertification of the soil also its good for grazing. Its also beautiful imo.
it also kills all the native plant life by dominating the surface area.
A healing plant
David G. Fairchild married Marian Bell, the daughter of Alexander Graham Bell. Fairchild worked for the USDA as a scientist who brought plants for agriculture to the USA and provided photographs for the first 2 years at least to the National Geographic Magazine, so he helped start the NatGeo. The Book of Kudzu by William Shurtleff is free on Google Books. I have 2 blogs on kudzu. Kudzu would make a good companion brownie for marijuana brownie since it detoxes the liver and pancreas and marijuana does not. It also works as a vascular dilator if you are an athlete or cannot buy the little blue pill.
The subterranean stem of this plant becomes materials of good starch.
It is edible.......the roots have a great starch and the vines can be used in basket making. The VINE that ATE the south is NOW being eaten.......;)
The little fuckers thought they were eating us 😈
I have 2 blogspots for kudzu. William Shurtleff and his ex-wife Akiko Aoyagi have a soy info center, a close relative to kudzu.
Edible (starch)
Medicinal (isoflavone)
Material (basket)
We also have this stuff in Western Illinois.
It does look quite amazing when all the rocks and trees are just covered with this stuff
As a matter of fact, a group at GA Tech some 30 years ago figured out how to make fuel from this stuff. Of course, there is the guy in Chattanooga that distills Kudzu Mash (like moonshine) into Ethanol. 7 Million acres that will continue to grow back from a plant that has high sugar and starch content is just the right plant for making fuel in place of petroleum based fuels.
I've seen it as far north as Pennsylvania, so I think it could survive the UK winters. It smells really nice in the summer (a nice apple fragrance), and the blooms are lovely, but be warned... if it escapes your property, you might have some angry neighbors.
Kudzu grows in Maine, Washington State and Canada studies it. Antarctica has no kudzu. Kudzu makes ozone. What other plant makes ozone?
It hasn't been 100 years since the Great Depression. There are millions of people today who have no access to green plants yet. They just don't know how healthy kudzu is, and how fast it is to get a lot in a bag. They don't know it is sweet like sweet peas as well as free and nutritious.
Animals don't EAT it!!! I won't either !!
@@warmlantern0000 that must be why there are 250,000 websites with kudzu recipes?
@@warmlantern0000 so you have never eaten Asian Food? Kudzu is used because it is better than arrowroot.
Jumping over a kudzu bed might not hurt at all.
Edit: but the bugs bother me more, ugh!
If you are in to permaculture...they make great ground cover with a little chop and drop also mulch. Geoff Lawton likes them.
I remember when my family would go into Mississippi from Louisiana. When we came back, the Mississippi bridge had an inspection station. They would ask my Dad if we were carrying out any Kudzu into Louisiana. My Dad would say "Hell NO! He would be asked the same on the Louisiana side too and would say the same thing. The agriculture stations stopped in the early 70's. For some reason, I haven't seen any Kudzu on the west side of the Mississippi in Louisiana, thank you Lord!.
+Jessie Smith To Do List: Bring Kudzu into mississippi
I bet if the state put a bounty on it-lets say a nickel a foot like the pop can-that sure would take care of it quick!
葛って物凄い生命力があるけど、使い道もたくさんあるよ
根は、葛餅や漢方薬として風邪薬とか 主な成分はデンプン
葉は、飼料とか
茎は、カゴとか
花は、漢方薬やジャム等に
また最近は、バイオ燃料等に成長がはやくトウモロコシより無駄が無いらしい
(まだ、研究途中とのこと)
I believe the UK winters are similar to ours in Tennessee, cold and rainy. So, it would probably grow. However, once it starts growing it's very difficult to control.
Unless there is a Great Leap Forward, and then it is eaten to save lives. The USA has more kudzu because China eats kudzu.
Kudzu Food on Google has a lot of info. If you try to get rid of it, try a Google for kokudzu because they do great things to manage kudzu. Also do a Google for kudzu kwestions!
Man, it's like a space mutant.
good for classic album covers though
There are recipes Japan hasn't thought about yet. My kudzu juice and kudzu brownies aren't found in Japan!
Livestick love this stuff, I wonder why he said you can't turn livestock loose on it. It is a member of the pea family and serves goats well. I can't get anyone to send me seeds for it in northern ireland. I have this huge concrete yard it couldn't escape from and I'd love to cultivate it in containers where the animals are housed at night.
Away down south in the land of Kudzu....
@TheMassAnnoyance
I don't think so. It cannot survive inside the snow and ice.
@fairportfan2 It could be good or bad. If kept contained it my be good for goats and cows to eat.
There has to be a reason. Nutritional quality could be one. The fact that a lot of people don't like the thought of eating a weed could be another. It is just like insects. They are easy to farm, have great protein quality, and their turnover rate is extremely fast! BUT people (at least in the west) don't like the thought of eating insects despite the fact they could be cheaper and more abundant then 'normal' meats.
@fairportfan2 IDK? I think anything can be contained, but Many people are too lazy. If that crap is left lose in the woods it won't be stopped. It don't seem to be a big problem in asia?
Kudzu powder is very expensive food in Japan. Kudzu mochi is made from Kudzu powder. Kudzu powder is made from root of Kudzu. And Kudzu hot jelly drink appeared on ancient Japanese novel as high class food for peers in Japan. American Kudzu was brought from Japan in 1890s for anti- ground slide. But soon Kudzu made over USA by it's power of increase. But all Americans must know Kudzu is very nutritious plant. Unfortunately, American peopl are ignorant. Kudzu's original pronounciation is KOODZU,and writing as well as Japanese is KUZU.
+kaisermuto It was also experimented with as cattle feed. Cows don't like it. I am considering learning to cut and cook it as soon as I can get enough research done. I hope that when you say ignorant, you mean uninformed and not stupid. As far as stupid, yeah the people that brought it here were!
kudzu sarmasigini ben saksiya ektim gunde yaklasik 6.7 cm buyuyor ama ne zaman nasil cicek acacak bilmiyorum bilen varsa yazsin
Yes, very good for privacy, though you and your neighbor may have a problem getting out of your houses after a couple weeks.
I can also eat kudzu fried in oil.
wow thats all the information man i need more by friday the 16 of may so
+maryan abdikadir Same i am doing an invasive species report i picked this one... make sure you look into it more there is A LOT of info on
@fairportfan2 I like Strawberries. I think my mother has that shit growing in he yard for decoration. Maybe one could put it in a field with a wall and kill the stuff when it climbs the wall?
You can eat it as they do in Japan.
One has to wonder if it's possible to cross produce Kudzu with anything else. Imagine Carrots or Potatoes that could grow a foot in a day.
Look up kudzu food or kudzu recipes on search engines. My site is kudzu questions when you do a search.
People can eat most of the Kudzu Plant and goats really love to eat it. Japanese prepare and eat this plant so bring in some Japanese to teach Americans how to process this plant for food and herbal medeicines
A-freakin-men to that!
Thank our USDA for bringing it here to control erosion!
In the 1970's Jimmy Carter called this the Number one problem facing the rural south. Rather than detroying marijuana crops, we should have them out pulling up this shit!
Why not use this Kudzu to feed to our livestock instead of feeding the animals corn which humans need to eat?
lol, in 0:12 those are ppl!!!!
eat them, this are really good organic food.
just eat the bottle
Because in reality it will not be a single gene, but tens if not hundreds (or potentially thousands since it is a eukaryote) that control the pace of its growth. The "isolation" would be a huge task, let alone putting those hundreds of of genes into another species. Then of course you have to be certain it won't effect any other faculties of the host plant. DNA technology is not so cut and dry sadly... :(
Kudzu made me fat because I ate a lot of it.
Asia doesn't poison kudzu, and bugs there don't eat it more than here. People eat it, and it is drought tolerant and anticarcinagenic and antileukemic and cuts alcohol consumption in half. Do a search on kudzu kwestions for the citations..
I've been noticing a lot of commenters saying how a rare delicacy Kudzu (Kuzu) is in Japan. I just how to say this: "Hey, Japan! You want your vine back? We'll be happy to set up an export of Kudzu products!" Cuz we can't even leave our windows open at night anymore, we're afraid your expensive delicacy might strangle us while we sleep. Rare delicacy, hah! Just pop on over to Tennessee, we'll show you how rare this plant is.
Exactly! A year ago I stated I had never seen Kudzu in Louisiana, well recently I have seen some patches, so horrible. Just to mention Japan, a lot of people don't realize that in Japan, the weather is colder than the Southern U.S. and not conducive to Kudzu overgrowing. I may have to start eating the leaves in stir fry.
砂漠の緑化にどうですか。
Goats will eat Kudzu. (Of course, they'll eat almost anything).
And pigs can dig up the useful roots!
Never never never grow kudzu for any reason
check the web for zetatalk they have all sorts of good info!!
Make livestock campaign.
The reason is most of it is poisoned.
Instead of having Federal authorities seize marijuana plants, why not have them pick this shit? Little tougher weed to be at war with apparently.
if animals dont eat it. Im not either. Period.
I wish marijuana can grow like kudzo.
Vegetable Bulldozer
Too bad there is no THC in this stuff.
What's wrong with your Government anyway. They also had stocking programs for common carp throughout the country and asian carp into fish farms. What's next, madagascar hissing cockroaches?
Goats eat kudzu.
mister gay
another reason not to visit the south
A shame it can't be "crossed" with other plants.
