California has agricultural inspection at all highway entry
points into the state. I'm pretty sure an apple would be
confiscated if bought in CA, taken to NV and brought back.
Agriculture is an very important element in the Californian
economy and the state government doesn't mess around in their
efforts to keep pests at bay. No hand-wringing bleeding-heart
crap in this regard! Geography largely isolates California from
other agricultural areas, so there are many pests that they don't
have there and they want to keep it that way.

Those with long memories may remember the aggressive campaign
against the Mediterranean fruitfly when there was an outbreak of
it in southern California 10 or 20 years ago.

Indeed, there are many nurseries elsewhere in the United States
that do not ship to Washington, Oregon, or California because of
those states' agricultural regulations.

YOu know, they may do random spot checks, but I"ve driven back and forth.
We have had coolers full of apples, bananas, you name it. I don't doubt
they have serious regulations, but I have to tell you, I was born there and
I don't remember that happening. It must be VERY new. I'll call my Aunt
and find out. She has some friends who could give me the absolute answer.
