Dispersal: mode of seed dispersal Seedbank: main storage of seed (canopy or soil), and length of seed viability, short = days to 1 year, medium = 1-5 years,<br />
long = 5 years plus. Years to maturity: years to first seed crop. Regeneration strategy: r = coppices/resprouts, l = stem layering, n = not sprouting or suckering,<br />
s = suckers (parentheses indicate occasional occurrence has been observed). Management and control: Injection = drill and fill or frilling
