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 |

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.

No, the are already introduced. That is why some states have gone to the
extreme of banning them, especially were the grow prolifically year around. Kudzu is another one of those noxious weeds, but it grow every where down south. the only problem with it is that it is mutating and can be found as far north as New Jersey. Most of these plants can be bought and sold because where they are being bought and sold, through the winter they will die. I know that WH will not last outside here in even a mild winter. Here in Oklahoma the state has banned certain flowering seed plants from being sold because of the crops that are grown here, but one of them is not WH. Most of your federal laws talk about transportation into the country, etc from outside. If you have ever traveled the highways into California with fruit there are officials that stop you to confiscate any fruit you can be bring in because of the possible bugs/eggs that could be carried with them.

Kenco,
I hope you don't take offense to this line of discussion, but you are absolutely wrong! W R O N G The law as you quoted it, does not ban the possession of these plants, nor does it ban the interstate transportation of the plants. The law you quoted regulates the interstate, and international importation of these plants! You Kenco posted and I quote "Under the Act, no person shall import or enter any noxious weed identified in regulation, into or through the United States, or move any noxious weed interstate, unless done in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary. The Act also authorizes permanent restrictions, after a hearing on the issue, and emergency regulations for temporary quarantines, among other things" statements like "unless done in accordance with" means it is not banned! "restrictions" is not banned! As an Architect that wants my potential Clients to trust me and see me as a credible resource, I must make sure that facts that I quote, and statements that I make are credible, less I loose the respect of my potential customers.

Here in Indiana they typically go for $5 each, except later in the summer when the ponders who bought early are cleaning out all their "offspring".

I think the importance of this discussion is to make all of us aware of the
fact WH is on the noxious weed list. Unless there is a difference between anchored water hyacinths and the ones we float in the pond? It is a shame that instead of banning something, the requirement isn't that the seller needs to educate the buyer. Pesticides have warning labels and have done a hectic of a lot more damage to our environment nation wide than the WH, yet they aren't banned, the public is educated. Granted there will always be fools who think they know better, but fools aren't banned either..... What I see right now is ponders trying to winter these plants over in the pond by sinking them, the few that survive will most likely breed more that survive the cold and therefore we eventually may have a winter adapted species. I know that situation is what one of our state's weed PhD is worried about. So IMO, the plants should be sold with "Do Not" information so ponders don't ever feel the need to harbor them. After all that's what they've done with the gambusia, the mosquito district brings them out free, but only they can transport them. WH could similarity be restricted in states w/winter. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website -----------== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - Unlimited Fast Downloads - 19 Servers =----- |

The WH that i sank and tied to a brick, has new growth on it. That might be the ticket in over wintering if the winter isn't too harsh. |
