Java plum, a cultivated plant, exhibits a wide geographic presence. It is native to various regions across South and Southeast Asia and has been introduced to continents like South America, Central America, Africa, and even some parts of the Middle East. Java plum has also become naturalized in several areas within these introduced ranges, and while it may be considered invasive in certain locales—primarily in regions of Africa—it is sometimes thought to be a species that may have an impact on local ecosystems, yet this is not uniformly observed. The extent of java plum's cultivation confirms its adaptability and popularity across diverse climates.
