Why not Surinam Cherry?
Surinam Cherry readily invades native habitats and poses a major problem for natural areas managers in South Florida. Wildlife readily spread its seeds, so Surinam Cherry is classified as a Category 1 highly invasive species known to damage the ecology of native plant communities. Additionally, Surinam Cherry will grow out of control if not regularly maintained.
