A few more key points:

* At first the species being planted everywhere was considered sterile, but somehow cross-pollination with related varieties can make them produce viable fruit, then animals spread the seeds.

* The fruit is not edible to humans.

* Some varieties have nasty thorns on them, able to pop vehicle tires, and over time grow together into thickets.
