Based on Georgiades (1995).
Alien: Naturalized invasive. Frequently planted.
Adventive to Cyprus, found on rocky places, wasteland and roadsides - Troodos mountain range, Lemesos area and elsewhere (Tsintides et al. 2002).
Newly recorded as adventive and invading natural habitats, mainly forests - locally causing major destruction and widely scattered (roadsides, ravines etc) (Hadjikyriakou and Hadjisterkotis 2002).
"The male trees should be avoided, because during flowering they are foetid-smelling causing allergies" (Tsintides et al. 2002).
Sprouts even in cracks on pavements and concrete as well as near house creating problems in infrastructure (Georgiades 1995).
Based on Georgiades (1995).
