Kudzu was introduced to the United States in 1876 at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Countries were invited to build exhibits to celebrate the 100th birthday of the U.S. The Japanese government constructed a beautiful garden filled with plants from their country. The large leaves and sweet-smelling blooms of kudzu captured the imagination of American gardeners who used the plant for ornamental purposes.
This weed grows in Ar. over along Us highway 65 near Omaha Ar. and I saw a patch growing along the county road going to the Frank Sydner farm in our area.
At the rate it spreads all of Carroll Co. will be covered some day.
