Family: Meliaceae
High Risk Traits:
- Possibly naturalized in Mozambique (unconfirmed)
- Thrives in tropical climates
- Elevation range exceeds 1000 m (potential environmental versatility)
- Tolerates many soil conditions (and potentially able to exploit many different habitat types)
- Shade-tolerant (could potentially invade intact forest)
- Self-compatible (possesses nucellar embryony)
- Seeds dispersed by birds and possible other vertebrates
Low Risk Traits:
- Despite ability to spread, no negative impacts have been documented to date
- Rarely cultivated in Hawaii with no reports of naturalization or escape
- Unarmed (no spines, thorns or burrs)
- Medicinal uses
- Landscaping and ornamental value
- Timber tree
