    Hi. I am trying to identify this tree which was not intentionally planted in the yard. It is incredibly prolific, and we are having a tough time weeding it out. I'm sure this is an invasive species to Arizona. Does anybody know what it is?

    Sorry, I don't remember what the flowers looked like. For now though, Leucaena leucocephala seems to fit nicely. Thanks for the help everybody.
