「Being carried by Japan and having been exhibited in North America in 100 independent anniversary of Philadelphia exposition for the feed crop and the garden decoration in 1876 : as a chance about the summer house and the porch though are furthermore recommended decorating for greening and the soil outflow preventions and were extolled temporarily. Exterminating doesn't make progress though the southern part of North America accomplishes growing thickly and diffusion more than the imagination from the natural enemy's because of suitable for growth lack, and was specified more than China and Japan in the country of origin for a noxious plant and invaded exoticism. An English name of the vine is from Japanese to "Kudzu vine kudzu". It becomes even an icon in an American southern part in recent years. 」From the Wiki

■Breeding by seed
DSCF1762.JPG冬の葛の種子 大井川にてSeed and hard seed seed that germinates easilyThe established rate by the seedling is not good. Development and diffusion of risks to new land
■[Totonoi] movement of leaf
The increase of the penetration light is measured also in the overcrowded colony where the optimization moisture evaporation of photosynthesis is suppressed.
■ Growth form to lose wood part
Because it coils around other plants because an enough stalk ..rubbish.. doesn't develop by the support of an own body, and the number of products is decreased to the upper part of the stem and leaf of the colony ..supportive tissue own that concentrates.. please, nourishment can be used for enlarging the amount growth leaf and extending the stalk.
