The tree that I am referring to as "acacia" is not really an acacia.
It is albizia julibrissin -- silk tree or mimosa. Not native to the United States, it is highly invasive in the Southeast. In fact, all of the invasives in my yard are introduced plants. The only native plants I have are some ancient pecans--the remnant of a pecan orchard planted some 120 years ago.
This is what the silk trees look like:

O.K. I know some permaculturists recommend using fitrogen-fixing pioneers, native or not. But how do you control them when they take over your property?
