You do know that it is actually illegal to plant this stuff?

If it is that pervasive, it should be easy to find a wild plant and
take whatever you want from it.

It is also illegal to dig it up plants without the consent of the
landowner. So you not only have to find a wild plant (you have to find
the landowner as well). In the case of Fallopia japonica you also have
to avoid spreading the plant around in the process.

Also, it is relatively scarce in the Cambridge region, compared to the
rest of the country.
