Family: Myrtaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Host for serious fungal pathogens (Cylindrocladium scoparium)
  
• Allelopathic (produces natural herbicide)
  
• Hybridizes readily with other species
  
• High seed production (>1,000 seeds/gram)
  
• Wind-dispersed seeds
  
• Tolerates fire and pruning
  
• Tolerates wide soil range (clay, sand, saline, acidic–alkaline)

Low Risk Traits:

• No documented invasiveness or weediness
  
• Requires full sun (not shade tolerant)
  
• No spines/thorns, not parasitic
  
• Non-toxic to humans/animals
  
• Low flammability
  
• Does not form thickets
  
• No vegetative spread
  
• No persistent seed bank
  
• Limited natural dispersal (not by birds, water, animals)
