Kudzu... I've driven a lot in NC/SC (Eastern US) and it is truly amazing how many forests along those highways (small and big) are overrun with the stuff.

- blamazon 4y agoIn Georgia, where weather conditions are optimal for kudzu nearly year round, it is an unstoppable menace. After society falls it will envelop everything we have built. Haven't seen The Walking Dead, did they get that right?
- dinkleberg 4y agoAnd at least here in NC, where you have kudzu you have the seriously annoying kudzu bugs. If you’re wearing white they’ll hunt you down and if you squish them they’ll stain.

- ch4s3 4y agoIt looks scary from the road, but never extends very far, as it requires a lot of direct sunlight. Forrests proper certainly aren't overrun in the Carolinas by kudzu. That said it is invasive and a bit of a menace.
- chiph 4y agoThere is at least one horror film about it. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ooshnu/2647762012 https://www.flickr.com/photos/ooshnu/2647762012 A high school classmate tried to ferment it as a science-fair project. The idea was to have a cheap source of alcohol for fuel (this was before ethanol production from corn became common). Nope. Didn't ferment for squat. He should have asked the local moonshiners before starting on the project - they would likely have already tried. The only thing Kudzu is good for is feeding goats.
