The article considers the results of a study of the natural seed renewal of an introduced plant in the plantations of the city of Khabarovsk – Acer negundo. The species has a high ability to form seed progeny and successful survival of seedlings and undergrowth. The observations indicate that the ash-leaved maple is capable of active uncontrolled settlement in urban ecosystems. This determines the invasiveness of the species in the region.

Keywords:Acer negundo, self-seeding, early stages of ontogenesis, invasiveness.
