I've heard conflicting stories about importing JBP's from Japan. For those in the know, can JBP's still be imported straight from Japan and quarantined here in the U.S. at licensed nurserys ?

They would come in bare root and would be subject to testing for pests. That is what I was told by USDA agent last year when I was considering trying to bring trees in to USA from Japan (or China or Korea too). __________________ There is unrest in the Forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas.

I think Brussels Nursery is a quarantine site. http://www.brusselsbonsai.com/ __________________ Bonsai is not a hobby.

The two needle pines that are allowed in to the US are from Korea or China. There are a limited number of species that can be imported. Check with APHIS.

Thanks for the info John. I'm always amazed at all the stuff you know.

I am not sure if the virus under watch is found only in black pines or in both 2 needle types. John __________________ "Wiring is simple; However, it is not easy to do it right" Boon
