Family: Myrtaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Grows and naturalized in regions with subtropical climates
  
• Naturalized on Kauai, Oahu, Maui and Hawaii (Hawaiian Islands), as well as in New Zealand, South Africa
  
• Other Corymbia species are invasive
  
• Unpalatable to grazing animals
  
• Tolerates many soil types
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• Hybridizes naturally
  
• Seeds dispersed by wind, possibly water and intentionally by people
  
• Able to coppice and resprout after cutting

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of negative impacts (other than possible landscape maintenance issues)
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
  
• Optimal growth in full sun
  
• Ornamental
  
• Not reported to spread vegetatively
  
• Outcrossing in nature
