Family: Podocarpaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Grows in tropical climates (conducive to spreading further in tropical island ecosystems)
  
• Locally naturalizing in Lyon Arboretum, Oahu, Hawaiian Islands
  
• Produces viable seeds
  
• Large seeds potentially dispersed by birds, other animals and intentionally by people
  
• Seeds may form a persistent seed bank
  
• Gaps in biological and ecological information may reduce accuracy or risk prediction

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of detrimental impacts, but no evidence of widespread introduction outside native range
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
  
• Non-toxic
  
• Not reported to spread vegetatively
  
• Relatively large seeds reduce risk of inadvertent or long-distance dispersal
