My sense is that Kudzu is gradually becoming worse in the northern mid-Atlantic as things warm. Colder temps used to hold back Hedera helix in our north but that obviously is changing. I'm sure there is a long list of southern invasives marching toward us now...

<p class="MsoNormal">Question: What, if any, invasive plant species appear to be spreading into the mid-Atlantic due to climate change? I know there’s been talk of southern magnolia and other species that are native to just south of here starting to naturalize
in our area, but I’m more interested exotic invasives. <u></u><u></u></p>
