Wrong Answer. The Melaleuca quinquinervia was introduced into Florida, USA as both an ornamental landscaping tree and for drying up part of the Everglades to reduce mosquitoes and allow for development. Unfortunately, the tree grows very rapidly and thickly, and has replaced the native ecosystem. As a consequence the Melaleuca is definitely an unwanted guest in Florida with the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council producing a brochure stating the tree is "Wanted: Dead not Alive".
