Kudzu, It Kind of Grows On You......Literally.

I remember talking to a Southern-Challenged friend of mine not long ago and she told me that the first time she saw kudzu, she thought it was such a pretty vine!


If you've lived around here for any length of time, you know that kudzu is anything but pretty!

It covers approximately 7 million acres in the South! Used in the 30's for erosion control, the USDA declared it a weed in 1972.





This "beautiful" kudzu is located at the end of Wade Hampton Boulevard and Church Street.
