What is Parkinsonia?
Why Parkinsonia Is a Problem in Australia
Parkinsonia (Parkinsonia aculeata) is one of Australia's most problematic invasive woody weeds. It forms dense, thorny thickets that invade grazing land, block access to waterways and reduce agricultural productivity.
Once established, Parkinsonia spreads rapidly through seed production and can dominate large areas, making long-term management challenging.
