Family: Sapotaceae
High Risk Traits:
- Produces viable seed
- Self-compatible
- Propagules dispersed intentionally by people
- Propagules bird dispersed
- Propagules survive passage through the gut
- Grows in tropical lowlands with acid soils
Low Risk Traits:
- No evidence of naturalization outside native range
- No evidence of being a weed (garden, agricultural, or environmental)
- No spines, thorns, or burrs
- Not toxic to animals or humans (fruit is edible and has taste-modifying properties)
- Not adapted to wind dispersal
- Not dispersed unintentionally or as a contaminant
- Not dispersed externally by animals
- Does not have prolific seed production
- Does not form a persistent seed bank (recalcitrant seeds, short viability)
- Requires specialist pollinators
- No vegetative spread reported
