Are jujube trees Invasive?

2 years ago

I'm considering adding a few jujubes to my orchard area. This is mostly for wildlife but I do harvest a few fruits off my trees now and again. I'm intrigued by their low maintenance and fruit bearing potential.
I've read they can sucker but I'm not concerned about that as i can easily manage that by shredding.
What I am concerned about is if there is a solid chance they will be spread by wildlife and become invasive and pop up in areas where not planted.
I've anecdotally read about them being invasive in Australia and possibly in a couple areas of Florida but not finding much else.
I don't want to plant the next bradford pear or bush honeysuckle where a seemingly good idea goes terribly wrong.
I would appreciate any thoughts.
