| yes, it's about six feet tall at this point and doesn't seem like it'll stop growing anytime soon! |

| Actinidia deliciosa [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] - the one you see sold in the supermarket. The new growth is long and elongated with redish fuzz on the stem. |

| Trying to see if this works...never tried the hyperlink before...
BUT, you probably don't have kudzu in Washington state, do you? I automatically think of familiar things... I wouldn't want to wish it on anyone!

| From what I can tell from your picture, the leaves look more like kiwi than kudzu. Here are the kudzu entries from Plant Files if you'd like to check it out though [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] |

| It is probably more likely kiwi, especially since the map in this link shows where kudzu is found...and it is not typical for Washington state. Kudzu vines have big three-part leaves, that's why I asked if the leaves were getting bigger. It is most probably NOT kudzu.

| Actually the current USDA map does show kudzu occurring in Washington and Oregon (the one in your link is from 2003), although it's probably not as widespread there as it is in the south.
[HYPERLINK@plants.usda.gov] To me though the leaves still look a lot more like kiwi.
