Re: Shipping banana plants
if you can get a "snail free" certification, that also helps in several cases. For instance, it makes it possible for me to ship to FL without 30 day quarantine, only 1 inspection instead of 2 ($35 each), etc.
Keep up on quarantines, etc. Here issues are Sudden Oak Death, Fruit flies, Glassy-winged Sharpshooters (Pierce's disease), Light Brown Apple Moth, and every year brings another one. Some quarantines mean you can't ship at all, and some mean some states are off-limits. For some you just need monitoring, and you are good. CA doesn't take any citrus from FL: because of all the new pests and diseases that are now found there.
