so my parents go to isreal for vacation...they were gone for 12 days. my mom comes home and to my suprise, brings me a pom from isreal. i was like mom tell my that you didnt pick that thing off the tree and bring it home???she said i didnt pick it our guide did, let it ripen and grow a tree. i asked her if she knew how many agriculture laws she broke and she said nope she dont. then she told me that when they were doing their tour that they are growing nana trees over there...and the first thing she thought of was me. i said to her...you bring me a pom but you leave the nana trees? whats wrong with this picture? LOL!

What exactly is a pom? Down here, you'd go to jail for 3 or 4 years for doing something like that!

I just got back from the Bahamas yesterday and went through US customs and was told that we must discard any seeds, plants, fruit, etc. before going through customs. If caught, we were told that we could face fines of $10,000 and possible jail time. Of course, I didn't bring any back from there, but I did "deseed" several plants that I am not sure what they were and a few that I did from Cocoa Beach... Glad your mom didn't run into any problems.
BTW, if you would like to try a hardy pom from Winston Salem, let me know and I will see if I can't point you in the right direction.

I tend to clean all the sand out of my stuff before it goes into my suitcase, so that wouldn't work for me... Love the sandy beaches, but don't want it going home with me....
