Field Collection Notes
Forest margin. Plant Register ID: 2004/383. 1 plant (small tree). Owner expressed concern as this plant has turned up on the edge of forest margin. It's production of many berries that appear attractive to birds and that it was not planted at the site is the main concern - e.g. what is it's potential to spread and dominate along forest margins. (Recently collected as naturalised elsewhere not abundant at any one site, only occasional plants known to be naturalised - Peter Heenan, 24 February 2005).
