I doubt it. There’s whole ecosystems and food chains to consider. It’s one thing for a plant native to Mexico to move north to southern USA—the whole ecosystem can move with it. But, a tree from China spreading through the UK could still wreak havoc.
“Invasive” rarely means something from slightly warmer region nearby. It means something that is introduced and has no natural constraints—predators, competitors, diseases, etc.
