The tree was introduced toFlorida, USA in 1911 by theUSDA, and is also now commonly grown inSuriname, Guyana andTrinidad and Tobago. InBrazil, where it was introduced from India during Portuguese colonization, it has dispersed spontaneously in the wild in some places, as its fruits are eagerly sought by various native birds such as thrushes,tanagers and the great kiskadee. This species is considered an invasive in Hawaii, USA.^[2] It is also illegal to grow, plant or transplant in Sanibel, Florida.^[3]“
