Kudzu is plant native to Japan and China. In 1876 the Japanese
government brought kudzu to the United States as part of a plant
show. American gardeners thought is was beautiful and began to
plant it everywhere. Some gardeners found that animals liked to eat it
5
and told farmers to plant it to feed goats, cows, and horses. In the
1930s the U.S. government paid people to plant kudzu to protect the
soil. The government scientists didn’t know that kudzu grows very
quickly in the warm weather of the Southeastern United States.
Kudzu now covers 7 million acres of land in American South. It
10
covers anything that is not moving; homes, deserted cars, and
telephone poles. It takes over whole fields so that nothing else can
grow. Some forests are dying because kudzu blocks out the light that
the trees need to live.
Now the government is trying to kill the kudzu. Scientists tried
15
poisons, but the kudzu did not die. They are thinking about bringing
some insects from China. These insects like to eat kudzu, but they
might eat other plants, too. This might cause new problems.
