Fortunatly I was lucky to get the ones I have and have had sucsessfully for 3 years legally. I watched a group of these beauties for years, which grew nearly 1/4 of a mile behind my house. Until one day I went for the walk to find the entire area demolished by a logging operation.
I was to say the least mortified. I wrote to the government about my distress over the destruction of a very large patch of these. They refused to put any effort into the conservation of these plants, and gave me permission to harvest these plants. So the next day I went in with my ATV and a shovel and hauled the whole lot along with half a foot of earth to an area on my property where the environment was the same. They are doing amazing well.
I moved from the property about 3 years ago and took a clump with me which have been doing great in a large barrel wich a mulch with pine needles on a regular basis. Luckily the property is owned by my whole family so I can go and see the colony of them whenever I please.
I am glad I did what I did. The entire 40 acre area in which these beauties inhabited is now a rural subdivision.
