On the Plants for a Future (pfaf.org) website I found Caragana boisii, and it says that the seeds of the boisii and arborescens varieties should be simiar (edible without much flavour). Other than this I found nothing about how it tastes which is why I am asking people here on permies.
Nurseries They sell the arborescens and pendula varieties in my country as ornamental plants. This means that these plants are not invasive here (zone 7a), right?
Or nurseries mostly care about profit and not maintaining the homeostasis of the eco system?
In general, if a plant lives in a zone which is at the end of it's habitat spectrum, it shouldn't be as invasive and vigorous as if it lives in a place which is in the middle of the spectrum, right? For example if Caragan arborescens' habitat is in USDA hardiness zone 2-7, then if I plant it in zone 7a, it shouldn't be as vigorous, and invasive as it would be in say zone 4, right?
