What to check before you buy
Growers list this plant under both Duranta erecta and Duranta repens; the Australian Plant Census treats Duranta repens as a synonym of Duranta erecta, so the two names are the same species. The Census lists it as naturalised in Queensland, New South Wales and on Norfolk Island, PlantNET adds South Australia and the Northern Territory, and the Queensland Government says birds eat its fruit and spread it into bushland. It is not a prohibited or restricted invasive plant under Queensland's Biosecurity Act 2014, but everyone has a general biosecurity obligation to minimise the risks of invasive plants under their control. Weeds of Australia regards it as an environmental weed in Queensland and northern New South Wales, and says it is not declared or considered noxious by any state government authority. Its stems can carry spines. Stock crossing a state border moves under the state and territory biosecurity rules on moving plants and soil.
Queensland: not a prohibited or restricted invasive plant under the Biosecurity Act 2014; everyone has a general biosecurity obligation to minimise the risks of invasive plants under their control, and a local government's biosecurity plan may include actions on duranta.
