Does anyone know the law concerning bringing in to the States flowers and trees such as olive trees? I have a home in each country and want to plant some olive trees in my yard in Louisiana. How can I do it? Rgds |

You would have to ask Customs as they have a list of species that cannot be transported! |

http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/plants/pla nt_imports/index.shtml The above site will take you to a starting point. You will have to navigate to your special need. (Take out any spaces that appear when you paste into your browser) |

Also be watchful of any % signs that crop up. I usually copy/paste the URL, then double check it before I click to navigate there... |

I notice that a plant I got from California had a special label so that they could ship it to other states. I think you have to purchase plants from someone who has a license to ship them into the United States. Are you unable to find the same plants from a nursery in the states? |

Don't know why they pop up, but sometimes when I copy and paste a URL site address, it comes up with %signs sprinkled throughout, that will keep the page from loading. |

A space in a website address can be encoded as "%20". Similarly the code for an "o" is "%6F", so you can do a link to Google like this: http://www.g%6F%6Fgle.c%6Fm/ With an "o" character, swapping "o" for "%6F" is silly as it makes the address less readable. But with a space character, swapping for "%20" is needed because website addresses aren't allowed to contain a real space character (because otherwise it would be difficult to tell where they begin and end!) N.B. Garden Guides is deliberately adding the unnecessary space. |
