Nativeness Notes
Legacy NPSpecies information may no longer be applicable, please remove if it is not applicable.
In legacy NPSpecies Weedy value was Yes with comment: ECOLOGICAL THREAT. Because silk tree can grow in a variety of soils, produce large seed crops, and resprout when damaged, it is a strong competitor to native trees and shrubs in open areas or forest edges. Dense stands of mimosa severely reduce the sunlight and nutrients available for other plants.
In legacy NPSpecies Pest value was Yes with comment: http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/fact/alju1.htm; http://www.issg.org/database/species/ecology.asp?si=364&fr=1&sts=sss
