I was thinking recently of the trumpet vine—an invasive plant here in North Florida.
The vigor of the trumpet vine should not be underestimated. In warm weather, it puts out huge numbers of tendrils that grab onto every available surface, and eventually expand into heavy woody stems several centimeters in diameter. It grows well on arbors, fences, telephone poles, and trees, although it may dismember them in the process. Ruthless pruning is recommended. Outside of its native range this species has the potential to be highly invasive, even as far north as New England.

It occurred to me that this should be the mascot plant for the Trump campaign.

- Outside its native range (NYC), it has the potential to be highly invasive.

Just saying….
