This plant is considered invasive in many areas, especially northern regions, as it escapes cultivation and has the potential to widely spread in previously pristine natural areas. I work for the Forest Service in Alaska as an Ecologist in our Seward office, and this plant is being included in an upcoming multi-agency invasive plants book for Alaska, with the recommendation that it not be purchased, planted, traded, or grown.
Thanks so much, Elizabeth Bella "

I found this entry under caragana arborescens, Siberian Pea Shrub, over at DavesGarden Plant Files.
I notice that many leguminous plants--such as kudzu are highly invasive. I suppose as Nitrogen fixers they increase ferility so as to make a cozy home for themselves so they can take over!
