Tony is right. You shouldn't be asking Florida about what is okay to bring into Michigan. The only reason the Florida official would mention citrus is because they are under a Federal quarantine which prohibits shipping citrus to most/many states and it is Florida's responsibility to ensure they comply with that. I already linked to the Michigan restrictions above. The airline also isn't going to get involved in policing plants but they are concerned with your scissors, ammunition, butane lighters, C4 explosives, etc. Don't try to get someone to acknowledge your justification as being okay because it's a small amount. Many serious insect and disease problems have been created by small shipments. As I said above, I didn't see anything in the Michigan regulations that prohibits taking some bananas from Florida to Michigan. Bringing to Texas, Arizona, or California, or many other states would be an entirely different matter. The regulations are put there for very good reasons.
