Various countries have identified Tecoma capensis in their invasive species plans; Anguilla, Australia and New Zealand. Specific actions have been identified to contain the species on the island of Rangitoto in Auckland, New Zealand (Wotherspoon & Wotherspoon, 2002). In Tanzania the species is found to have spread from unknown introduction around the Amani Botanical Gardens (Dawson et al, 2008). Evidence from this study and from studies in New Zealand (Healy, 1958) and Queensland, Australia (Queensland Herbarium, 2002) suggests that the species spreads and becomes naturalised from being planted as an ornamental within landscaped areas.
