Family: Meliaceae

High Risk Traits:

• Elevation range exceeds 1000 m, demonstrating environmental versatility.
  
• Grows, and could spread, in regions with tropical climates.
  
• The sawdust may be irritant.
  
• Shade tolerant when young
  
• Reproduces by prolific seed production (every 3-4 years)
  
• Seeds dispersed by wind, and intentionally by people.
  
• Tolerates pruning and can be propagated from stumps.

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of invasiveness or naturalization, but no evidence of widespread introduction outside native range
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
  
• Associated with acidic soils (spread may be limited by soil pH)
  
• Saplings require light gaps to grow and mature.
  
• Not reported to spread vegetatively.
  
• Relatively large, wind-dispersed seeds unlikely to be dispersed accidentally by other vectors.
  
• Seeds have a short viability and are unlikely to form a persistent seed bank.
