Consider the Butternut Tree, an “exotic.” We occasionally include non-native plant species: Foxgloves, Dandelions, Evergreen Blackberries … We know George Bush planted this tree. 
It was brought in the form of a cutting of a cutting from his farm in Missouri. This cutting rode in a wagon with his family on the Oregon Trail. It is a native of Easterners’ “Northwest” (i.e., University, Chicago). This tree grows naturally in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois, stretching to the northeast into Ontario and Quebec. The photo shown is the tree at the Bush homestead in Tumwater, Washington. (This writer grew up on a Snohomish Farm with a Missouri Butternut cutting, if an apology is required.)
