I have too many Eve’s Necklace trees in my yard. It seems like every time a seed pod drops, it grows. It’s becoming invasive. The branches on the mature trees drop off and they are alarming. Has this been the case with a lot of people? Thanks!

I am enjoying your website. I thought you might want to update the species name of Eve’s Necklace. It is now Styphnolobium affine.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve updated the post accordingly.
