Mimosa tree
Framed by algae on the lake's surface, the Mimosa trees look lush and leafy, but they conceal a dangerous truth: they can be deadly to people, animals, and the environment.
The delicate pink blooms resemble starbursts and grow during the summers in small clusters. They produce seed pods, which contain about five to ten seeds. These seeds have a neurotoxin in them, which is harmful to livestock and other pets if ingested. They are alkaline and cause breathing difficulties. The Mimosa Tree has been called an invasive species in many parts of the world, including Japan and some states of the U.S. By invasive, it means that the mimosa tree is aggressive and non-native and has the ability to cause environmental harm to animals and native plants and trees by displacing them.
