Family: Malvaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Able to grow in tropical climates
  
• Other Dombeya species may be weedy
  
• Tolerates many soil types
  
• Seeds (if produce) may be dispersed by wind and intentionally by people
  
• Tolerates frequent pruning

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of invasiveness or naturalization
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
  
• Requires full sun
  
• Ornamental
  
• Artificial hybrid that may not produce fruit and seeds
  
• Lack of seed production reduces or eliminates potential for inadvertent dispersal
