Kudzu Update

One of the questions that surrounds the Kudzu find in Ontario is "what will happen when the cooler temperatures come?" This image was taken on October 23, 2009. Temperatures in the area have gotten down to below freezing but no true killing frosts. Cool temperatures are evident on the Kudzu leaves that are showing typical cool temperature injury and in some cases have started to defoliate.
