Hello. Um, is there something a bit odd that people at the Ag Department don't know for sure? I'm tempted to take them with a grain of salt for that. Similar discussions have been on other lists not that long ago (Alpine-L etc); even the Royal Horticultural Society seems to only be aware that an import permit should be used, as far as I know. I'd doubt they were breaking the law... Robert Carl // ChroniAbaloni@webtv.net
