I don't know a lot about kudzu...ya'll have that in eastern TN? Can't say I've seen it when down visiting the folks, but probably cause I don't really know what it looks like!
Does it go dormant and die off, or just rejuvenate in the spring?
Turns brown and comes back with a vengence the next season thicker. You've seen it. Any lush green mountain canopy you see in TN/KY is probably it.

PS- Congrats on catching some wind Lee
