1:30  David Hughes on Plant Divination. David Asks:

bring a sample of a plant (fresh leaves – bark - buds samples or printed photos of the whole or parts of the plant, etc.) from their home landscape that they are attracted to (or want to know more about) that they judge to be “growing naturally” on their land (i.e. not planted by them or other previous owners of the property). 

Key here is when plants grow on a site by either ecological presents to that habitat or volunteer to the site – it can tell the educated observer a snap shot of the history of that place (i.e. “place making” markers).  For example, for your place we could use the large Norway maple – planted I suspect 100 years ago. its offspring have moved around your yard and the neighborhood  So I could tell the history and value of that tree.
