Typically forms extremely dense stands of trees that are completely impenetrable. In addition, it is strongly allopathic, exuding toxic chemicals that inhibit the growth of understory plants. Its tasty fruit is eaten by feral pigs who then spread the seeds in their feces.

Guava is a pestiferous tree-like shrub that was introduced to the islands in 1791. It is easily spread by horses, cattle, feral pigs, and birds. It grows quickly, crowding out other plants, especially native species. In its favor is its wonderfully tasty and nutrient-rich egg-sized yellow fruit.
