Weeds Australia:

  • Native to eastern Australia, but has spread beyond its natural range through its use as a garden and street plant.
  • It has also become a weed in its natural habitat due to altered fire regimes since European settlement.
  • Seed is spread through garden waste, bird and animals droppings as well as attaching to fur and clothing.
  • Sweet Pittosporum invades many habitats, shading out competition and altering soil nutrient loads.
