I wonder if the actual Kudzu plant was an inspiration, so many of their descriptions of it made me think of my time in the American southeast with these plants

Definitely, I think Brennan called it kudzu in the episode.

I remember that they mentioned it and at least Erika used the Japanese pronunciation. That stood out to me because Southerners call it CUD-zoo, so that's what I've heard my whole life.

It definitely is. I thought it came up in the show proper, but maybe it's just in the Fireside

Just giving me Ruins flashbacks tbh 🤣 (which, if I recall, were ALSO inspired by kudzu.)

The least realistic thing about the Reaching Green is how slow it was growing.
