Not at all. Kudzu is a robust leafy green vine that grows rapidly over the
ground, bushes, trees, abandoned pickups, pets, small children, etc. It is
a good ground cover with nice purple flowers, but not too many people would
be sorry to see it gone. It can completely cover mature trees with obvious
results. Spanish moss is common but not so agressive or destructive.
