I have driven to LA a couple of times.

I can guaran-d__n-tee you, on I-10, they have STOP Signs at the border
to California! Permanent signs...looks like toll booths....but they
don't want your money...just your plants...Stop signs on the highway!

We stopped, the fella asked if we had any fruits or vegetables, we
looked at him funny and said, 'No!?!?!?'

He said, 'Ok' and we drove on.

About as weird as getting stopped at a border guard temporary
check-point this side of El Paso coming home and being asked if
everyone in the car was from the US!

Anyway, they will definately ask and they will definately throw them
on a pile of potted plants on the side of the road.

DEFINITELY?! The web site says if they have no pests they can go through.
Maybe I should just put them inside the trunk before the border crossing
and lie to the agent?!


That said, I've never taken plants in so I wouldn't know how to get
them past the border. Maybe a phytosanitation certificate from a local
grower?

I'm going to post to my local gardening group too and find out...
