Widely naturalised http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Robinia~pseudoacacia and forms thickets from suckering . May become more of an issue as being used as a root stock in popular grafted 'mop top' forms.

There is a group of about 50 plants on Isaacs Ridge but they seem to too far apart to be suckers.

I walked past this patch yesterday - the rangers have knocked them out. Good work.
