I think it is already here in the south. Its a type of mesquite. The once broad grasslands through texas is now covered in spiny mesquite trees. Cattle eat the beans pods and spread it everywhere. Let a pasture go without maintenance and it will be covered in mesquite in 5-10 years.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
And lined with invasive plants that were purposely introduced to "improve" things.
