Pitta:

Yes, they grow here also...however, not as widely
as in the true tropics. In Hawaii, where I'm
from...they grow like weeds everywhere.

A lot of plants here give us trouble, seed pods everywhere young plants everywhere like weeds.

Pitta:

That seems to happen with some of the most
beautiful plants/trees in the tropics...they
unfortunately become weeds.
