We have found numerous Sapium sebiferum trees of various sizes, from saplings to young-mature trees, growing in native vegetation along the American River Parkway in Sacramento, California.
Sapium sebiferum is a deciduous tree up to 12 m (40 feet) tall.
Sapium sebiferum was introduced to the USA in Charleston, South Carolina in the late 1700's.
Sapium sebiferum -- Non-Native Invasive Plants in the United States
Its primary vectors are birds (pileated woodpeckers have been observed eating the seed) and moving waters (tests show viability even after several weeks of floating in water).

Florida's natural areas--a great source of pride and enjoyment to its citizens--provide recreation, protect biodiversity and fresh water supplies, buffer the harmful effects of storms, and significantly contribute to the economic well-being of the state (Jue et al.
Chinese tallow is a deciduous tree with a milky sap that commonly grows to 30 ft tall.
Chinese tallow tree (Sapium sebiferum L.) can be identified by its simple, alternate leaves with broadly rounded bases that taper to a slender point and dull white seeds that remain attached after leaves have fallen.

The invasive species Chinese Tallow (Sapium sebiferum recently renamed Triadica sebiferum) displace natives and as such may modify arthropod communities.
The investigation of how arthropods respond to Sapium is measured through both quantitative and qualitative studies.
One quantitative study compares arthropod abundance and species richness on Sapium (which naturally forms monospecific stands) and 3 native (monospecific stands) of tree species: Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum), Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), and Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua).
By combining industry-leading SAPIUM services and a growing market of smaller sized businesses, the TechProtect program provides organizations and individuals with a rock-solid foundation for the complete spectrum of SAPIUM's award-winning technology services.
SAPIUM was created to provide direct high-tech services to a variety of technology users and businesses.
SAPIUM offers a wide array of technology services and products directly, such as infrastructure, creative and e-business consulting.
Effects of simulated herbivory and resources on Chinese tallow tree (Sapium sebiferum, Euphorbiaceae) invasion of native coastal prairie -- Rogers and Siemann 90 (2): 243 -- American Journal of Botany
Effects of simulated herbivory and resources on Chinese tallow tree (Sapium sebiferum, Euphorbiaceae) invasion of native coastal prairie
Chinese tallow tree (Sapium sebiferum, Euphorbiaceae) is a non-native
As expected, Sapium showed the least amount of biomass depression between control and drought treatments among all species, and less depression between control and the two flood treatments than all species but N.
If the success of Sapium were a function of the Enemies Hypothesis, we would predict lower arthropod loads on Sapium than native species.
Removal plots had greater Sapium seedling densities nearby killed trees compared to the densities near living Sapium trees in the control plots.
Gymnanthes is cited for the first time in Malesia based on two former species of Sebastiania, and the African genus Duvigneaudia is united with it.
Sapium and Sebastiania are no longer considered as indigenous to Malesia, with Sapium (= Sapium sect.
Finally, two new synonyms are proposed by uniting Sebastiania lancifolia with Gymnanthes borneensis, and Sapium plumerioides with Stillingia lineata subsp.
Some orders such as Neuroptera, Thysanoptera, and especially Homoptera were significantly lower on Sapium.
This preliminary research investigates 1) whether natives and invasive Sapium form mycorrhizal associations, 2) the importance of mycorrhizal associations for aboveground native tree species performance and Sapium performance and invasive success, 3) how mycorrhizal influence changes along a soil fertility gradient, 4) and whether mycorrhizal suppression may alter these forest understory dynamics.
Eight 16 hectare control plots were also established.

Coastal Prairie Restoration(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Park contains numerous habitat types, including beach, sand dunes, coastal prairie, oak mottes, and tidal and freshwater marshes.
However, approximately 10% of the Park’s prairie acreage is inundated with invasive or exotic plant species such as Chinese tallow (Sapium sebiferum) and Eastern baccharis (Baccharis halimifolia).
Since its inception, one of the goals of the Friends group has been to work towards removal of these plants and restoration of the native coastal prairie.
The Castilloa tree has been experimentally planted in Ceylon, the West Indies and other countries (Plate fig.
Other trees occurring in S. America which furnish rubber of secondary commercial importance are Hancornia speciosa, yielding the Mangabeira rubber of Brazil, and species of Sapium furnishing the Colombian rubber and much of the rubber of Guiana (derived from Sapium Jenmani), which is scarcely inferior to the rubber of Para.

The project area has had little active management on the project site other than grazing.
As a result, some areas of the site have been colonized by invasive plant species, primarily Chinese tallow (Sapium sebiferum) and Eastern baccharis (Baccharis halimifolia).
