Does this plant belong in a newly established Meadow? #567157

Asked June 04, 2019, 11:39 AM EDT

I'm restablishing a meadow from seed. This plant is sprouting up in numerous locations. What is it's identity so I can determine if it is invasive or not? It is a single stemmed plant with alternate, growing longer, leaves with bi-lateral leaflets, not fuzzy. Thank you.

This looks like a mimosa seedling, Albizia julibrissin.  This is an invasive tree and we recommend removal.  https://extension.umd.edu/hgic/topics/invasive-tree-control
