Kudzu series by Helene Schmitz
The kudzu, a plant originating from Japan, was introduced to the United States at the end of the 19th century, for its decorative qualities and as a ground-covering plant; it was then massively planted from the 1930s onwards as an answer to soil erosion in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. Kudzu can grow up to 30 cm in a day! Thus, within a few years, this imported plant deemed pretty and useful at first became a nuisance. It’s sometimes referred to as “the Vine that devoured the South”.
