Prosopis juliflora

Caption

'Prosopis juliflora - native to Mexico, South America and the Caribbean - is invasive in many parts of the world. As with all alien plant species, the performance of Prosopis as an invader has benefitted from diverse biotic interactions. Its seeds are eaten and dispersed by many vertebrate animals. The roots of this legume tree also form associations with bacteria to form rhizobia that fix nitrogen. (Credit: Pixabay)'.
