Doubt our constabulary will allow 'em across the border Aaron.
Far too gorgeous a yucca to risk that.
I'd be soooooo mad.
the leaves are sharp
I have some nice callouses where fingertips have healed from my other deadly-spike one.

Barb,
I had 11 3 gal Agaves and a 2.5 foot Yucca Rostrata shipped across the boarder as long as there is no dirt there seems to be no problem.

Hi teebee,
I had heard that it works for Ontario's border crossings, even calling something "houseplant" seems to get them across.
Years ago, I ordered a bunch of stuff from the Plant Delights nursery in the Carolinas and had to get a phytosanitary certificate ($$$$), etc.
The nursery said it wouldn't work otherwise.
Apparently the BC border nazis are very very tough.
I wonder if we should do a "dry run" with some garden grass...I mean SOD, minus soil, ha ha. 😉
That kind of grass anyway. :fart:
Just trying to save one of your nice seedlings, Aaron, from getting tossed into a garbage can.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Barb,
Want me to act as a broker for the shipment?

Thanks Aaron, hope it works.
Teebee, thanks but we'll try it without brokerage for now.
