Family: Annonaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Thrives in tropical climates
  
• Other Annona species are invasive
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• Seeds dispersed by fish, water and intentionally by people
  
• Limited ecological information may reduce accuracy of risk prediction

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of invasiveness or naturalization, but no evidence of widespread introduction outside native range
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns or burrs)
  
• Non-toxic
  
• Edible fruit
  
• Relatively large fruit and seeds may minimize risk of accidental dispersal
