What's the best packing/labeling method to get through customs?

send no soil.

on larger plants, as in the video, but after wrapping in plastic, wrap again in newspaper. Label on the newspaper the species (in case it gets inspected)
In bubble wrap package or box (small as possible), mail out.
Call it worth = $5.00 no more, or duties and perhaps taxes are due.
Call it "gift" and/ or "gardening supplies" which as a trade is absolutely true!

Very successful.

Call it "gift" or even better, "sample" if there is a box to check off.

Adam- I have some Yucca gloriosa (Tennessee seed) plants that I need to thin. You're welcome to one of them, if you like. I can't guarantee that they are true species gloriosa since they are seed grown AND have been hardy in zone 4b/5a.

Thank you Paul....
Anyone else dividing up their yuccas and can share?
or have extras already potted?
I have to get pics of my giveaway/ trades maybe tomorrow.
Adam

Adam, what types of Yuccas are you looking for?

Tim, I am looking for
Yucca Gloriosa green, yucca aloifolia green, and aloifolia purpurea (if it exists)
yucca recurvifolia and yucca trecueleana 'Canaliculata'

hoping for some cutting/offsets or seed grown a few years old

If you are cleaning up your beds, maybe you may have some from this list you wish to spare

I just hate to hear of yuccas going to the compost bin!

I have some others to trade out too for those interested

Some pics of what extras I have. Anyone who wants to trade, I can trade out to you some of these:

So please have a look at what i have to offer, and what you have to offer. I doubt anyone has an extra Sabal 'Birmingham' but that has been also on my wanted list for some time now

I had one miserable little Birmingham in my seedling collection. I think the thing had 2 leaves after 3 years (strap leaves). If it's still there you can have it.

Hi Adam

that trunk form of glauca looks really odd. Can you take a few other photos of it? It's cool looking. It's much different than my Y. glauca v stricta wihch is the Yucca on the left. It's a massive Yucca....that fence behind it is 6ft tall.

PS:
There are loads of gloriosa/recurvifolia forms.....I must have 10 or so different types. Some aren't as hardy as others. Don't give up on them if the 'first' type dies on you.

Here is the Yucca glauca trunking I am keeping. I also have another with similar sized trunk and at least two others from the same parent plant available not yet trunking though.

who wants to trade?

Nice glauca form.....do you know what state it's native to?

This Yucca glauca trunking... not sure if it has a native range. Perhaps it is trunking only in cultivation as a result of hybridizing or natural selection.
I saved this bunch of glaucas from an out of control garden in front of a hi-rise apartment building. The other half of the grouping I left... got bulldozed the following spring.
I know of one other of this plant in the same neighbourhood. I am trying to work something out with the property owners to reduce its size and save it from the compost bin. Picture when I get out there.

There was the nicest clump of Yucca glauca with small trunks at a restaurant here in Toronto. The restaurant has closed and the Yucca has disappeared! It's not fair, I wanted to make it disappear!
