Comments (1)

Schefflera actinophylla is an invasive tree (a non-native species whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm, or harm to human health) in Hawaii and other parts of the world. It is capable of colonizing steep slopes- one example of this is the windward side of the H3, where it can be seen covering large areas uphill from the highway.
