I would have bought one and planted it in the wild.

We had a similiar situation here in Minneapolis, although it's not really impacting anything at all. Theodore Wirth Park is the home of the northernmost something or other berry bush in the world. We wanted to build a shed there and we were told we couldn't. I have half a mind to take a graft of that bush and plant it in some other park North of there.
