That's kudzu.

Originally imported as a ground cover to prevent erosion.

When left unattended, aka several days of neglecting to use a flame thrower attachment for your weed eater, it can grow to cover houses, cars, trees, telephone poles and lines, and immobile or slow-moving animals and government employees.

A shot of a telephone pole close by the old homestead in Mississippi ...

... the kudzu climbing all over the wire, up the pole, it looked like Godzilla, so we named it Kudzilla!

The local paper stated they have had great success using goats. After 3 years, it doesn’t come back.
