relocating to California
Hello,
My husband and I are relocating to California from Texas, and we are getting contradictory information about whether or which plants we can take with us. My understanding is that you can take houseplants that have not spent time outdoors or at least don't have any critters like fire ants in them. Does anyone have experience with the border check point and what the procedure is? I don't want to bring a bunch of plants and then have them thrown out at the border, I'd rather give them away. Thanks for your help! until soon, Hope |

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. 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? John "Hope Munro Smith" wrote in message . 83...

They do indeed have check points: BORDER STATION INSPECTIONS Vidal Border StationAgricultural inspections on all private and commercial vehicles are conducted at sixteen border inspection stations located on major highways throughout the State (six at the Oregon border, five at the Nevada border, and five at the Arizona/Mexico border). More than 33.5 million vehicles were monitored at the California border agricultural inspection stations in the 2000 calendar year, including 24.5 million automobiles, 6.5 million commercial trucks, more than 706 thousand recreational vehicles, and more than 40 thousand commercial buses. These figures represent an eight percent increase from the previous year. There were over 70 thousand lots of prohibited plant material intercepted at the border inspection stations. These lots were infested with plant pests and/or were not properly certified for entry into California. More than 5 thousand samples of suspected pests were submitted by border station staff to the Department's Plant Pest Diagnostics Branch for identification during the year. Serious pest finds in the Year 2000 included gypsy moth, imported fire ant, boll weevil, Mexican fruit fly, zebra mussel, pecan weevil, Japanese beetle, Oriental fruit fly, Mexican fruit fly, European corn borer, burrowing nematode, musk thistle and diffuse knapweed. |

I cant wait to move back to california from texas. Every year i go home to california and bring back, in my suitcase, aloe and wandering jew. It's wierd to see the wandering jew die and reappear each year. I have tried other plants but they never made it. I was out there last month and bought my mom some of these low to the ground flowering plants with such BRIGHT colors!! You'll have to hit a nursery when you get there to see what i am talking about. Enjoy the weather when you get there! This weather sucks! |

Mail the plants to someone out there and if you dont know anyone, mail
them to someone who can keep them alive until they can ship them to you. Plants survive large ziplocks with a couple of wet paper towels quite well. On Wed, 23 Jul 2003 16:13:09 -0500, "John T.

My husband and I were traveling from Ohio to CA. in the late eighties. We were in a motor home. They ask if we had any fruit are plants. I said, no. Forgetting we did have fruit in the fridge. They searched the motor home and took grapes and oranges. Told us we were welcome to pull over to the side and eat it . Otherwise it was to be thrown on their pile. They did take it. |

Thanks for your help! until soon, Hope See if you can have your plants inspected by an ag agent before you leave TX. The plants need to be insect and disease free. It's not a big deal, but bringing new bugs/diseases into Calif. could be. The ag agent would probably give you a piece of paper that says your plants are clean. Yes, the border cops in Calif. will ask you about plants. They're trying to keep bugs/diseases out of the state. It's a big deal, since California is the food basket of America. The last time I drove into Canada from Washington state, they took away a bag of #1 non-certified potatos. They're trying to keep the potato blight out of Canada, and it's present in WA state. (That's the spud blight that caused a million Irish to starve to death, and another 1.6 million to move to America in the 1880's. Two pairs of my great-grandparents left Ireland because of the pratie famine. Our family who stayed behind all died of starvation.) Take the plant inspection stuff seriously, because it *is* serious. Don't import anything with bugs or disease. Call your state ag dept. and ask for an inspection or ask them what procedure they recommend. You may be able to ask the border guys in Calif. for an inspection. Jan |

Yes, I did email the agent. She gave me an idea of how long it takes to get through the checkpoint, and that they are basically looking for bugs and disease. Here is what she said: "The inspection process is usually quite fast, and may involve only a few questions by the agricultural inspector. If the inspector does look at your plants and sees an insect or disease of concern, the material is confiscated which does not take very long." So I feel better. I am *only* taking plants that have spent their lives inside, so I think I'll be fine. |

At least root cuttings from all of your favorites and bring them! I grew up in Calif. My mom is a horticulturist. We travelled extensively all over the west. My mom used to *fill* the car with plants, then try to stuff my little brother and me in there somewhere. She inspected every- thing before she bought it, and never had anything taken away upon inspection. In Fresno, you can grow *everything.* Fruit trees, nut trees, tomatoes right outdoors, herbs like crazy. That isn't my favorite town in the state, but boy, howdy, is it a great area for gardening! You can run up into the Sierra when it gets too hot : ) Jan, in Alaska |
