Family: Anacardiaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Broad climate suitability (based on elevation and rainfall gradients)
  
• Thrives, and could spread, in regions with tropical climates
  
• Shade tolerant
  
• Tolerates many soil types
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• Seeds dispersed by wind, possibly water, and intentional cultivation

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
  
• Polygamodioecious. Self-fertility unknown but may require outcrossing for seed set.
  
• Seeds lack dormancy, and should not form a persistent seed bank
