BE AWARE! Prosopis juliflora A threat to Mediterranean areas in the EPPO region Image: N Maczey (CABI) EPPO Global database, https:\\gd.eppo.int What is it? Prosopis juliflora is an evergreen, broadleaved perennial woody shrub or tree and is native to the Americas. In the EPPO region the species is reported from Algeria, Spain (Mainland and Gran Canaria), Israel, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia. In the native and introduced ranges, P. juliflora is found in a number of different habitats including: wasteland, forest, managed and natural grassland, coastal areas (including coastal dunes), wetlands, abandoned field and urban areas (for example roadside). Plants for planting is a potential pathway for the entry of P. juliflora into the EPPO region. Seeds are widely available via numerous online global mail order suppliers. The two reported introductions into the EPPO region, as with most global introductions, have been as seed for reforestation. P. juliflora is a very aggressive invader with the potential to outcompete and replace native vegetation. Prosopis species have large impacts upon water resources, nutrient cycling, successional process, and soil conservation. What's the problem?
