Kudzu is a high climbing vine that is more of a problem in the deep south where it will overgrow trees in a short time. In our state the winters are too much for it and it is much slower growing. A survey by the NJ Dept. of Agriculture revealed 58 locations in the state. Only one of these (in Red Bank) was of a serious nature. It was introduced as a soil conservation aid and became too much at home.
