• Other Moringa species have weedy traits and tendencies

• Seeds dispersed by wind, gravity and intentionally by people
  
• Resprouts from tuberous roots
  
• Limited ecological information may limit accuracy of risk prediction

Low Risk Traits:

• introduction outside native range
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
  
• Not reported to spread vegetatively
