Question 72
The kudzu is a vine that originally came from Japan and the south-eastern parts of China. It grows extremely quickly. It was first imported into the United States in the 1880s as a plant for people’s gardens that could create shade. It has now spread over many forests in the southern USA, as shown in Figure 3.30.
