Comments: Smith (1985) lists blackwood acacia as one of 33 alien species which should be monitored as potential threats to native ecosystems. This species is spreading vegetatively in pine plantations in Waikamoi Preserve, and has begun to escape from the plantations into adjacent drainages. The magnitude of its threat to native ecosystems is limited if its spread is exclusively vegetative. If reproduction from seed becomes common, the potential for invasiveness is considerably greater.
