Kudzu (Pueraria montana) is a climbing, semi-woody, perennial vine in the legume family. In Missouri, kudzu was planted along highways to control erosion mostly in select southern counties, mostly along highways and often draping over trees and other vegetation. It may be confused with other vines like native grape vines. Kudzu grows well under a wide range of conditions and in most soil types, except for saturated soils. Preferred habitats are forest edges, abandoned fields, roadsides, and disturbed areas, where sunlight is abundant.
