Name: Schinus molle - Schinus terebinthifolius - Myoporum laetum Ruderal Woodland Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance consists of groves of escaped or naturalized cultivars of <i>Schinus molle, Schinus terebinthifolius</i>, or <i>Myoporum laetum</i>. These trees are evergreen with aromatic compound leaves and are considered invasive in California. All are common ornamentals that have escaped from cultivation. Birds disperse the colored fruits allowing seedlings to establish in wildland vegetation. This alliance is found in California in coastal canyons, washes, slopes, riparian areas, and roadsides, between 185 and 300 m elevation. Both <i>Schinus</i> species grow well in dry, nutrient soils and are tolerant of air pollution. <i>Schinus molle</i> may not form naturalized stands away from cultivation. <i>Myoporum laetum</i> frequents disturbed coastal habitats.
