Kudzu came from Japan.
kudzu was brought over from Japan to prevent erosion during WWII. It is found mostly in the deep south, which was planted by farmers to prevent their soil from disappearing due to the makeup of the red clay soil in the south. Kudzu cannot be killed successfully unless you burn it, or put chemicals on it 10-20 times. It has destroyed acres upon acres of land by choking out trees and other plants. If you do not know what it is, then I would recommend leaving it that way because you and the rest of your community will have to live with it for a lifetime. Kudzu is the plant of the devil down in Gods country, THE SOUTH!!!J

Kudzu actually comes from Asia. Two expositions that took place in America displayed this kudzu. The first was the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876 and the second was the New Orleans Exposition in 1884 where more kudzu was imported. Because of how fast the kudzu grows, it has now taken over many parts of America.
