PA state tree/state flower?

Question

Is it illegal to dig up the pennsylvania state tree/flower?

Answer 1

Apparently all you need is permission...............

There is a persistent myth that the designation of State flower affords Mountain laurel a protected status. This is not true. ((((No one may remove any plant)))) from public or private land without the landowner's or land manager's permission. But there are no legal restrictions on the cultivation of Mountain laurel. And there are many good reasons to grow and enjoy *************Pennsylvania's beautiful State flower.********
