[citation needed] However, in the eastern United States it is generally a short-lived tree, being highly susceptible to mimosa vascular wilt, [11] a fungal disease caused by a species of Fusarium, though the disease does not seem to have seriously impacted its populations. Because of its invasive tendencies and disease susceptibility, it is ...
Oak wilt is a fungal caused by Bretziella fagacearum, is a disease originating in eastern Russia. It can slowly or quickly kill an oak tree when the tree reacts to the fungus by plugging its own cambial tissue while attempting to block the spread of the fungus. This plug prevents the cambium vascular tissue from delivering nutrients and water ...
Mimosa pudica was one of the four species that significantly extracted and bioaccumulated the pollutant into its leaves. [25] Other studies have found that Mimosa pudica extracts heavy metals such as copper, lead, tin, and zinc from polluted soils. This allows for the soil to gradually return to less toxic compositions.
Mimosa pigra, commonly known as the giant sensitive tree (pigra = lazy, slow), is a species of plant of the genus Mimosa, in the family Fabaceae. The genus Mimosa (Mimosaceae) contains 400–450 species, most of which are native to South America .

The leaves are bipinnate or are modified to vertically oriented phyllodes. A few have cladodes rather than leaves. [38] Extrafloral nectaries may be present on the petiole and rachis, and the pinnule tips may carry protein-lipid Beltian bodies. [37] The leaflets are usually opposite, and are carried on shortly stalks or are sessile.
Because M. scabrella is a legume tree it doesn't need fertilization and with the decomposition of the leaves, big amounts of nitrogen become available for other plants. Because M. scabrella has beautiful “feather” leaves, it is often used as an ornamental tree or live fence. Because of its fast growth its often used for reforestation ...
