- May hybridize with H. lagenicaulis
- Animal-dispersed seeds (Possibly certain birds, pigs, rats, and mongoose in Hawaii)
Low Risk Traits:
- No evidence of naturalization or invasiveness
- Ornamental value
- Slow growth rate
- Fruits and seeds relatively large and unlikely to be spread accidentally
