Family: Clusiaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Broad elevation range in regions with tropical climates
  
• Thrives and could spread in regions with tropical climates
  
• Possibly naturalized in Australia (but no evidence in the Hawaiian Islands to date)
  
• Tolerates many soil types
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• Possibly able to produce seeds via apomixis
  
• Seeds dispersed by fruit eating birds and mammals, and through intentional cultivation
  
• Distribution along rivers suggests water may also disperse seeds
  
• Tolerates cutting and fires

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of invasiveness or negative impacts where cultivated
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
  
• Edible fruit
  
• Palatable foliage
  
• Reported to grow in high light environments (dense shade may inhibit spread)
  
• Reaches maturity in 4-6 years or longer
  
• Not reported to spread vegetatively
  
• Fruit and seeds relatively large and unlikely to be accidentally dispersed
  
• Seeds lose viability quickly (unlikely to form persistent seed bank)
