Brazilian Jasmine is a vigorous vine that climbs high into the canopy of mature forests, completely smothering native trees, out-competing understory plants. It has the potential to invade natural undisturbed forests and modify plant communities by displacing native species, changing community structures and altering ecological functions. It has the potential to be a serious environmental weed and a threat to native biodiversity in suitable habitats. (Animal and Plant Health Agency (2020).

Natural dispersal: seeds are easily dispersed by birds and mammals; vegetatively by secondary stems. Intentional dispersal: planted as an ornamental and hedge plant; propagated by cuttings or sold as seeds. (Animal and Plant Health Agency (2020).
