Legally, you can't remove any plant without the permission of the land
owner. Likely though that the owner would tell you to bring truck and
load up all the prickly pear you want. FYI, it roots easily. Just
break off a pad, stick it in a half course sand / half potting soil
mix, and away you go.

My girlfriends mom has always marveled at blooming prickly pair cacti
and has always wanted one.

There is a HUGE pasture by their house that has them everywhere.

I just wanted to know whether or not there is anything illeagal or
anyway that we could somehow damage the "ecosystem" out there by just
taking one small to medium sized cactus out of a pasture that has
hundreds.

I just want to make sure before I do anything......
