Tree of heaven VS Kudzu and oriental bittersweet
Comments (22)lkzia... unique name by the way took me 6 times to spell it right LOL :) I think you might have answered your own question.. You said "They really aren't around this area" "Only the toughest trees survive here" Your right they cant survive where they ain't even growing or EVEN AT for that matter LOL... think about it. And as far as being tough enough, well there isn't another tree on the planet that can survice a atomic bomb blast within 5 meters of where the bomb landed like this one did in Japan.... ITS TRUE go to DAVE'S GARDEN and type in tree of heaven and there is a link that documents It. Now tell me how many tress would survive that? LOL Im looking for some seeds of this tree, if ya got any and want to part with em let me know. I know how to make the tree very resistnat to round up.. simply apply it till it ALMOST dies then stops each time it should get stronger. LOL well at least Im thinking....See MoreTaming kudzu/clearing land
Comments (15)My house and lawn used to be nothing but kudzu and pine trees. One full acre worth. I had the lot cleared and pine trees cut for $1500 back 15 years ago. I had centipede grass rolled out for an instant lawn and planted 400 azaleas in the beds. I had fought the kudsu for two years in the azalea beds using all kinds of techniques. I first started with round up at reccomended strength for kudzu. I learned that in order to kill kudzu with round up you have to have a large amount of leaves and a long vine to kill the root. Spray all of the leaves and make sure you add a little bit of liquid dish detergent in the solution so it will stick to the leaves well. Once the leaves were dry, I watered like crazy which sped up the process of killing the kudzu plant. As for the other vines that came up that were not very long, after I sprayed with round up the vine shrivelled up and a new one came up. I ended up just digging the root out of the ground. A kudzu root looks like a human arm and is just as big. Anyway After digging up several roots I have had no other problems with Kudzu. As for the sod laid lawn, I had a couple of shoots come up, but after several mowings I never had a Kudzu issue. Looking at your situation, I would wait till spring when the kudzu starts growing and just spray the heck out of the area with round up. Then when the kudzu appears dead, just clear the area. If this is not an option then this winter clear the area and plant winter rye to prevent any type of erosion. Then this spring watch for any kudzu to come up and just dig the root right out of the ground. Do this for a month and you should have the problem solved, then plant what ever you want to plant....See MoreKudzu
Comments (15)We don't have much kudzu up here in the frigid northland(KY) - but there is one small patch here in town that I could access in less than 5 minutes if I wanted to, and a couple others, over in Land Between the Lakes, about 30 miles away. When my kids were smaller, when we'd go home to Auburn, one of the first things they'd do when we got settled in at grandmama's house would be to run out to the garden fence and pick an armload of kudzu leaves for me to fry up for them. Dipped in buttermilk and dredged through some cornmeal with a bit of Cajun seasoning and black pepper mixed in, they fry up pretty tasty! Of course, everything tastes good fried!...See Morekudzu vine
Comments (9)I'm glad you're convinced, but if you want some absolute reinforcement - look at the images of kudzu on Google. I'm amazed this is still found in catalogs. From the Global Invasive Species Databas listing Kudzu "the vine that ate the South" as one of the 100 most invasive: Pueraria montana var. lobata is a ropelike semiwoody leguminous vine with a twining and trailing growth habit that can form dense infestations covering ground and trees. It is reported to infest about 2 to 3 million hectacres in the Eastern U.S. and results in estimated loses of $500US million per year in land productivity and control costs. It inhabits temperate zones, or higher altitudes in the tropics, and can be found growing in almost all eco-types from the driest flatwoods to the margins of permanent bodies of water. Common Names: kudzu, kudzu vine, Kudzu-Kletterwein...See Morebeesneeds
