Water Hyacinth in San Jose, CA
Do any Californians know where to find water hyacinth in San Jose? I'd like
to buy them locally if I can. I figured payless nursery, over silvercreek & capitol, would have them, but they don't have any. The water chestnuts I bought at Marina Foods, in Cupertino, on Steven's Creek are growing quiet nicely. - Sameer change the two in my email address to a 2, when replying |

Haven't lived in San Jose in 3 years, but I used to get them at Orchard
Supply. (suppose there is always the Delta?) Wendy in N. California "You can build a throne with bayonets, but you can't sit on it for ng." - Boris Yeltsin "Snooze" wrote in message rthlink.net...

If they are outlawed in all states, why are they available to buy? I can buy
them at Oklahoma City at a pet supply dealer. |

You can buy WH at home Depot, and nearly at all pet store. Ping me in a few
weeks I may be able to ship you some from Southern Cali. -- _______________________________________ "The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: The chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'." http://community.webshots.com/user/godwino "KenCo" wrote in message ...

Well I found them!
The Summerwinds Nursery on Almaden Expressway, between highway 85 and Branham. They are selling them for $1.99 each, I have no idea if that's a fair price or not though, but I bought 3, since I figure it's better then having to drive about town looking for others that have them.

Ken,
Did you actually read this link. It is actually a Task Force recommendation to the Statutory Materials To Accompany Coastal and Ocean Law Regulation and has not a law. In addition, this paper deals primarily with bilge water and ballast water discharges by ships in the Great Lakes and Great Lake Regions, manmade channels connecting these bodies, and navigable rivers associated with commerce through the St Lawrence Seaway and the subsequent lakes and rivers in the region. The Task Force has also territorial seas to cover all shipping that comes from all directions to the states from outside our borders. The paper mentions water hyacinths once but in reference the idea that plant can cause problems along with four other plants including water chestnuts mentioning that they have caused problems to navigation in other parts of the world. No other reference as an aquatic nuisance is made. The main trust of the paper is to convince Canada to join the U.S. in the control of the bilge/ballast water discharges in the Great Lakes. And to encourage reciprocal cooperation environmental impact analysis of major Federal actions which have significant transboundary effects on the quality of human environment in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico (the reason for the territorial sea references). Oh, by the way the main reason for this Task Force was the havoc that has occurred by zebra mussels what were traced back the ballast water discharges from a foreign vessel. So I know that Water Hyacinths are outlawed in Florida and Texas, but here in Oklahoma they are not outlawed. Even here in Oklahoma during mild winters when I was keeping Water hyacinths they never made it through the winter to grow the following year.

I can buy them at Oklahoma City at a pet supply dealer. tons of places sell them, doesnt mean there legal. every supplier I have has them listed or you just have to ask for them. -- http://www.kencofish.com Ken Arnold, 401-781-9642 cell 401-225-0556 Importer/Exporter of Goldfish,Koi,rare Predators Shipping to legal states/countries only!
