Kudzu is a plant native to the East that climbs in the trees and clings everywhere, blooming a little like wisteria, but with purple flowers. Kudzu can grow up to twenty meters per season. As a result, kudzu has become invasive, especially since it has become acclimated all over the world at the moment. In the United States for example, kudzu is a real scourge because it spreads by smothering the plants it finds in its path and very large sums are committed to limit its expansion. But, at "small dose", the plant, however, has qualities! Indeed, it can help fight against certain addictions.
