I'm very selective on plant types, only ones that i know i want and only ones that are right next to the road(likely to be mowed/poisoned/removed)and i already have lfa..

Vic, most of the truly roadside plants are probably not from Hawaii, as vehicles today are a great spreader of non-native plants....
If you only want to collect "appropriate"(native, canoe, non-invasive, wat`eva) plants, the first thing to do is to really get familiar with native plants, canoe plants, and most importantly, invasive non-natives....

As far as transplanting plants from one area of a district (or even an ahupua`a) to another, that IS how plants, both native and canoe, were propagated around the islands. But of course, to correctly do it would be first with an appropriate `olelo.

Certified export Nurseries ship tons of potted plants off island weekly. The medium must be dirt free to pass Federal Ag regulations.
