Hi everyone,

I've got a few last yuzu and Palestine sweet lime seeds ( they are still in the fruit so they are fresh). I am looking for flying dragon or other trifoliate seeds, amongst other things. Anybody interested?

Thanks.

Can someone from out of state send citrus seed to CA? Seems like I would know, but I don't.

"except seed" is what I see... So I assume seed is ok ?

Hi Charlie, I would love some seeds - mostly yuzu. I planted yuzu's from 1 fruit someone sent me & none grew. I have some P. Trifoliate seedlings that are 4 inches high or so that I could ship. ..planted in late Nov.
How the hell will anyone know what it is??? Let me know.

Thanks Lazz, I have never been sure about that.

Dang. if it werent illegal, id have some FD seedlings for you too.

Hey Garnet, haven't seen you in awhile! I'd be willing to ship my seedlings anywhere in the world! Just box 'em up & how will they know?
If they open box & see them, what could they do other than throw them away, but why would they open it?
I sent key lime seeds to someone in Netherlands cuz he couldn't get any there... don't know if it's legal or not. I can see it for commercial grown plants, but just for someone who wants to grow at his home? Just seems stupid to me.

Well, if youve got your return address on it. thats a decent motivation

I lived in CA last year and heard something interesting from their NPR channel.... some kind of grape pest is threatening the industry and they had a quarentine line in-state. IIRC, it was a pest brought in on ornamentals or houseplants or something... so I just worry.

Did i move into the state with a few potted plants? yes. the Ag inspection station wasnt open so i just drove past it. but I worry. Not juding you, just saying I wouldnt risk it.

Garnet I dont think your the only one who went threw cali with live plants LOL ..
My aunt brought back several from HI about 10 yrs ago .. she said she was scared someone would take them from ehr so she bought some from a local store and made the numbers on her reciept bigger

I was like Whoa just for ginger and plumerians she would lie so i told her about my mom and her plant she got from my aunts house You should of seen those 2 sisters scrap LOL Tammy


Patty Hun dont Take the chance ....
when i went to ST louis i wanted to bring back Mullberrys red white and black.. so my gal pal gave me some seedlings i got into the air port and poof the red light and they said Plants i was laughing said there mullberrys guys i wanna sell them to the orgonians as Blackberrys on a tree..( that was a joke that saved my little behind)... every one laughted and then told me ok this time but by law you cant take plants from Mo with out Certain paper work have a nice day .. Now the kids love the trees the moms hate them and the dads cant wait to climb them and get berrys for pies ..
Moms dont like the mess on the clothes so i make sure kids and dads have old scrubbs on befor they go near any of them ..

PS i also know with the weather here in oregon changing so much we are getting some really weird bugs as well... some beetle that looks like a bee .. or are things just being noticed ?i found a white spider with red stripes for the last 3 yrs now very pretty but cant find it on web any where .. ill post a pic looking for a new digital mine went kapoot

The grape pest is Glassy Wing Sharpshooter. It can suck a grapevine dry. I hope it doesn't develop a taste for citruses.

The glassy winged sharpshooter is the vector for pierce's disease. The sharpshooter is part of the problem but it is really pierce's disease. Sharpshooters don't damage citrus or damage grapes other than to spread pierce's disease. That is why you can't grow vinifera grapes in most of Texas and the whole southeast and why muscadines are grown instead. PD could spell the end of California vinifera wine grape growing.
