[Aroid-l] 2nd Annual Aroid show? CA Imports

From: agavestar at covad.net (Michael Mahan) on 2007.10.12 at 17:41:16(16464) Here's what I know about plants into California . Plants brought as baggage on an airline from anywhere in the U S A ( EXCEPT HI & they inspect at the airport). no checking on anything except the TSA check @ the airport of departure & they ain't looking for plants . (ups has a no ask policy, it's up to you to know the rules thing) plants shipped must be from an inspected nursery if they are stated as plants on the box & this applies only to a few states . Enid ships into CA all the time as do other Vendors . Windy also ships into Ca from HI as do other vendors in HI , she is also nursery inspected.. it's the nematode thing, plants must be grown on benches out of contact with the soil & a soil less mix &/or be bare root . Plants brought over the boarder in a private vehicle there are no more stateline inspection stations ( Arnold S The GOV ) did away with them with budget cuts. Any pytosanitary doc's by the USDA will be OK for bringing plants into CA.. now don't quote me on this but this is what I have learned from importing, selling & buying plants for years here in California +More -----Original Message----- From: aroid-l-bounces at gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces at gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of D.

At the orchid shows, there are vendors and exhibitors from all over the US (including Hawaii), Canada, Brazil, Ecuador, Thailand and Singapore. Christopher D.

California has so many regulations, that many events have to be held across the border, in Las Vegas. Still very convenient for the masses of people on the West Coast. They have plenty of facilities for larger shows. I don't know about Nevada plant regs.
