That’s how that crap got here in the first place! LOL! Brought from Japan (native to Asia and grown for a variety of uses). Around here (upstate SC) they are trying to control it by planting another very invasive plant- bamboo. The advantage being that bamboo is not a vine.
I have a patch of bamboo growing on my property. I use the bamboo stalks for ‘mater stakes and to prop up my Brussels sprouts. I don’t mind an invasive species if there’s a good use for it. I’ve been fighting privet for over 10 years and have yet to find a use for it.
