get your bum to australia richard - we need places like yours.

we are only a small country (population wise) in a huge land and getting reasonable plants is very hard

some nurseries try to do it but postage costs kill - - for one mail order plant nursery they charge about $40 to deliver a single plant - and the same price if you buy 6

It make plant collecting an expensive business

Congrats Richard. Best of luck to ya!

Thanks to everyone who ordered products over this last week -- your parcels have been shipped! Also thanks to Harvey C. for pointing out that most people like to have a tracking number with their shipment. This appears to be true, and also it appears that every time I supply a tracking number with the Google checkout shipping confirmation, the Google system rates my online business just a wee bit higher.

In my quest to improve my relationship with Agricultural Inspectors (no chong, not my cat) ... I just passed two hurdles! My site has been declared free of glassy-winged sharpshooter and also of agriculturally-harmful nematode species.

Is the citrus psyllid something that you're having to address?

Yes, although the requirements are reasonable if you already have a nursery stock and "producer of nursery stock" license. You sign an agreement with the USDA/CDFA program that for every shipment outside the quarantine area to (a) treat all citrus plants and (b) notify the CDFA through the county Ag department of what you shipped and to where.
