Faya, originally brought to Hawaii for ornamental purposes, has established itself as an invasive species in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This tree disrupts the native ecosystem by altering soil pH and shading native plants. Birds play a crucial role in spreading Faya’s berries, furthering its invasion. Control efforts include girdling the trees and applying herbicide to manage its spread.
