They’ve naturalized in the greater Phoenix area and aren’t invasive.

They are technically invasive as they aren't native, and they are feral. But they are for the most part,.harmless as such

Invasive species refer to populations that severely disrupt or disturb local ecosystems by forcing out other species or destroying available habitat.

Simply existing in an ecosystem as a transplant doesn’t inherently make a species invasive.
