Do you think it is against the law for digging up mountain laurel in VA? Does it make a difference if it is your own private property? Speedie, the mountain laurel is very prolific thru out the 35 acres - growing anywhere between 1 foot and probably 8-10 feet if I had to estimate and depending on how old it must be. Here is a photo of a large clump that I repeatedly reminded Mike to save when we were clearing for the house site. They usually bloom around Memorial Day weekend - some years the blossoms are more prolific than others - I have never figured out any kind of condition pattern though.
