make sure it lives for a loooong time??

Remember we all have different opinions and I was just expressing mine so no
need to attack me personally.



There's obeying the law, and then there's ethical behavior.
Believe it or not, there can be a difference.

Besides, the plant might probably be quite "happy" where it
is. :-)

And what about the person who follows in your footsteps on
that public (government) land and doesn't get to see that
plant because you have taken it for your own selfish pleasure.

Of course, thievery is thievery, no matter what is taken or
what the value -- intrinsic or otherwise. That's probably
unlawful as well as unethical.
