Import of plant from USA

I am about to import a plant from the USA and have sorted shipping etc. Any help much appreciated --- Well done you Rupert! Since 7/11, my son who lives in the USA has not been allowed to send any plant material to me here in the UK. However, he IS allowed to send me seeds, the envelopes containing them have been sometimes opened and inspected during transit. Broadening the discussion, I wonder if it's time to stop the importation of plants altogether. Is the, perhaps minor, increased risk of introducing pests and diseases worth it, balanced against any, perhaps modest, benefit? -- Mike. If we banned the international movement of all living creatures and the trade in fruit and veg etc etc then you might make a more sanitary environment (boringly sterile) |
