High Risk Traits:

• Thrives in tropical climates
  
• Reproduces by seeds
  
• Seeds dispersed by wind, possibly water and intentionally by people
  
• Seeds may form a persistent seed bank
  
• Limited ecological information may reduce accuracy of risk prediction

Low Risk Traits:

• No reports of invasiveness or naturalization, but limited evidence of widespread introduction outside native range
  
• Unarmed (no spines, thorns, or burrs)
  
• Valued timber tree
  
• Shade-intolerant
