- Description
- Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust) is a medium-sized deciduous tree, native to the Southeastern United States. Due to a number of beneficial attributes, it has been widely planted and become naturalised in several countries. It has one of the largest distributions in Europe of any introduced plant and has increased its distribution into a number of Southern Hemisphere countries. In its introduced range, the species exhibits a number of invasive tendencies, which result in negative environmental and economic impacts. This review presents information on aspects of the plant's biology and ecology with emphasis on its status in the Southern Hemisphere. Topics covered include taxonomy, morphological attributes, distributions, habitats, relationships with other species, growth and development, reproduction, hybridisation, population dynamics, uses, toxicity and the invasive status of the plant in Southern Hemisphere countries This manuscript also provides insights into management options including biological control, which has never been intentionally implemented against this species.
