if it came from the bonsai place on the big island
with a tag, then it may have gotten on
but fruit are a no no to carry off...

in any case, good luck at the customs desk on the
way out of the airport...
i had a MIL that works there and took home
lots of 'abandoned trees...and other stuff'
to give away at home...

smiles,
alicia

Not quite true (at least two years ago), as my mother-in-law brought me a
schefflera "bonsai" which is doing just fine. I think she just had it as
carry-on luggage. She will be coming back from another trip this year in
three weeks time, I'll let people know if she brings back anything else,
or
if she had problems.
