Schinus terebinthifolia

A few plants are present on the ascent to Sister’s Peak, and a small but dense patch in the gully between the Mountain Road and the south side of Middleton’s Ridge. As this species is extremely invasive on St. Helena, and could potentially be well-adapted to the upper dryland areas of Ascension, its immediate removal is strongly recommended.
