In Hawaii S. molle isn't that aggressive as compared to
S. teribenthifolius (Brazillian pepper tree). The few grand specimens
that I have seen in Hawaii are dwarfed by anything I saw in
California. You may want to check and see if there were any allelopathic
compounds produced by this treee. I sesm to recalll something to this
effect by S. terebinthifolius....
