Family: Annonaceae
High Risk Traits:
- Thrives in tropical climates
- Potentially broad elevation range (>1000 m in cultivation)
- Tolerates many soil conditions (could potentially invade many different habitat types)
- Fleshy-fruited (Seeds potentially spread by pigs, rats, and mongoose in Hawaii)
Low Risk Traits:
- Not known to be naturalized or invasive
- Unarmed and non-toxic
- Edible fruit
- Not known to spread vegetatively
- Fruits and seeds relatively large and unlikely to be spread accidentally
- Low fruit and seed set will minimize the chance of escape and spread
