Mile-A-Minute Vine

Mile-A-Minute is deserving of its common name and its reputation as "the Kudzu of the north"—a single vine can grow up to 6 inches per day.

Mile-a-minute can cause major ecological problems:

• overgrows and outcompetes other plants, shading out native vegetation
• forms dense mats interfering with forest regeneration and seedling establishment
• grows up to 6 inches per day in ideal conditions
