Family: Cunoniaceae
High Risk Traits:
- Able to grow, and potentially spread, in regions with subtropical climates
- Casual, and potentially naturalized, in New Zealand
- Tolerates many soil types
- Reproduces by seeds
- Seeds dispersed by wind, and intentionally by people
- Resprouts after fire, and possibly cutting
Low Risk Traits:
- No reports of invasiveness or negative impacts outside native range
- Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
- Non-toxic
- Not reported to spread vegetatively
- Seeds unlikely to be dispersed long distances
