Not that I'm aware of, but the terrain and climate in this particular area is very harsh...very dry, 100+ in summer, freezing in winter. That might be what keeps them from spreading.

The Brazilian Pepper tree is a terrible pest in FL.

I was amazed to see that the CA Pepper Tree is the same genus. Any problems with it becoming invasive in CA?
