I linked to it above. Here it is again.

Wrong link?

Wrong link?

Doesn't seem to be. Works just fine here.

Should take you to a Wikipedia page about an old movie that describes the plant in looking for? Recall that I started out asking for the "vine that ate the south".

Ohhh, I was like this is a movie not a plant!

vine that swallows everything in sight?

This. But since kudzu apparently violates tender sensibilities, I'll settle for Aubrey. Or I guess technically it's Aubrey II?

My apologies the confusion. I'd thought that the link to the original thread would give away the joke. When folks came back with stats law, it became apparent the joke was still on, and I couldn't let go! I'm a horrible person!

Thanks, you beat me to it. It is illegal in many states to plant invasive plants. Not everyone knows or cares about the consequences.

In GA they just tie offenders up outside and plant Kudzu at their feet. No one hears from them again…

Yep...didn't catch that it was a joke in either thread... It's well past April 1st.

Humans are actually the main consumer of kudzu in Asia. It's edible raw, nutritious, grows fast and improves soil quality through nitrogen fixation

As someone who lives in the south I've personally noticed that kudzu only ever takes over in extremely damaged environments, such as clear cut areas, the sides of roads and crop monocultures

Kudzu is a problem yes, but only in places where humans themselves are a significantly worse problem

I've personally witnessed native muscadine grapes defeat and swallow kudzu alive. If humans didn't kill muscadine and destroy the environment, then kudzu would never be an issue
