The "air potato" is one of the most invasive plants found in Florida.
The vine grows up on and strangles every tree that it is near. The

It produces tubers that resemble potatoes. These fall to the ground
and start a new plant. I have pick up literally hundreds from the
yard in a year's time because I have a wooded area that's part of the
property.


I don't think I'd heard of that plant until today. I giggled a little
because it reminded me of "air biscuit".

It's Florida's version of Kudzu.

I thought Florida had actual kudzu.
