Please keep in mind that exotic pests are wreaking havoc in
California. The uncaring nursery moguls who have introduced sudden oak
death to our state is only the latest disaster. There is a very good
reason to regulate plant entry into California to protect its
agriculture and environment, both of which are incredibly diverse
relative to anywhere else in the world.

Sneaking plants into California is a terrorist act.

I'm not sure if you have been following the thread "moving to California"
but I have an analogous problem. I have been getting so much conflicting
information about whether my plants will be allowed into CA I am ready to
either give them all away or risk smuggling them inside boxes inside of the
U-Haul van!
