Some of the worst invasive plant species in eastern North America are vines such as English ivy, wintercreeper, and Asian bittersweet. Invasive vines are problematic in a way that differs from woody and herbaceous invasive plants – the vines can climb. This allows invasive vines to not only impact native plant growth at ground level, but the vines can also overwhelm and kill large trees. Most have explosive growth rates and can cover a wide swath in a short period of time making control of them a top priority. There are many species of invasive vines in North America – this video covers a dozen that are widespread and are adapted to a variety of conditions. Be on the look out for them and stop them as quickly as possible!

  2. people introduced Kudzu so they could eat it too; besides the erosion control. those ground tubers look great. and as a perennial it is appealing; if it weren't invasive. I bet varmints take those aerials and stash them all over. I wonder how tasty they are. If I see some now I'll know its ok to dig and gather.
