Most trees which are non-native are usually planted. I avoid using the term/cultivated for woody plants because once planted they are sure to stay for many many years. That is true for most trees in Kashmir including famour Platanous orientalis, Robinia pseudoacacia, Populus italica, P. alba, Salix babylonica, S. caprea, S. alba to mention a few. Cupressus kashmiriana is of course a native species of which several trees have been planted in FRI. I don't know whether they are still there not (last visited FRI in 1976)
