Are you serious?

Kudzu is no laughing matter. It is the scourge of the South.

I’ve paid thousands of $ and hours to keep it off my property.

Read about it. It’s not a joke, Rod:

Sorry I live in fishville down here. Never heard of it: Here's what it is:

Kudzu is a group of climbing, coiling, and trailing deciduous perennial vines native to much of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and some Pacific islands,[2] but invasive in many parts of the world, primarily North America.

The vine densely climbs over other plants and trees and grows so rapidly that it smothers and kills them by blocking most of the sunlight and taking root space.[3] The plants are in the genus Pueraria, in the pea family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. The name is derived from the Japanese name for the plant East Asian arrowroot, (Pueraria montana var. lobata), kuzu (クズ/葛).[4][note 1] Where these plants are naturalized, they can be invasive and are considered noxious weeds. The plant is edible, but often sprayed with herbicides.[3]

It is nearly impossible to get rid of.
