I found an article about Melaleuca trees ruining Florida's ecological system. Melaleuca is an exotic invasive tree that was introduced into South Florida from Australia in the late 19th century. It is used extensively as an decorative plant and as a soil stabilizer in swampy areas; but unfortunately it has done more harm then good. It has displaced native plants and animals, took up water from wetlands, and is a fire hazard.
