Would you collect an old native purely because it makes a nice bonsai? (more in initial post)

This is a very interesting and thought provoking thread.

What are your (and everyone's) thoughts on collecting a native tree from a suburban property? One that was planted by man and not endemic to the area?

Regards,
Steven
If you have the required permission, I can see no problems, some of my better trees came from such happenings.
As always the ethic of leaving the site clean and the hole you dug is filled in, is a must.
