Longer reply by email; briefly, when I say "if you have access" I mean
legal access, not "if you can steal from" -- and having grown up in
North Carolina and Tennessee, I have a notion of what "woods" probably
means there. Not public parks, not someone's well loved yard, likely
difficult even to find who owns the place, though it's never impossible to
look that up.

If you mean concerns about moving native or invasive plants, there's not
much worry about moving them from adjoinding land. Cross county lines or
state lines here, though, and it's definitely regulated, sometimes fiercely.
