I'm well aware of it's proclivity for growth... other
than that, what's the problem with Kudzu?

Jac, I'm no expert on Kudzu, but in wetter climates, such as East Texas and
Louisiana, its rampant growth takes over everything in its path. Wisteria is
also considered a plague worse than locusts in those areas, but it's easily
controlled and makes a nice plant around Austin. In Louisiana, wisteria could
literally strangle a pine tree, while Kudzu would cover the tree and deprive it
of sunlight.
