Re: New cutting delivery/oops

As I understood the ban it was all plant material.  I was only kidding with
my last message just so you all know.  I thought the disease is in the plant
itself and not the soil but I am probably mistaken.  I have heard of several
companies not going along with the ban.  It's easy in this business to
cheat.
