Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Flying Fox Fruits nursery, a source for rare seeds, scions, fruits, and plants

My customer, that is a nursery, ships from south Florida to Texas plants that they buy from other nurseries every day. There is a form for that. I wrote the program that generates the list of plants and nursery that they were brokered from for all orders on the truck. It prints on the numbered, preprinted form from Florida Dept of Ag. It is called a "CONSOLIDATION DECLARATION FOR FLORIDA NURSERY STOCK DESTINED TO TEXAS OR LOUISIANA". It states, "This is to certify that the nursery stock material in this shipment has been examined within the past year and found to be apparently free of the burrowing nematode and meets the requirements for Texas Quarantine 4TAC, Chapter P., Diaprepes root weevil."
Don't know how it works in FL, but here the nematode certificate is only for the nursery to which it was issued, can't ship plants with that certificate unless you are that nursery. Makes sense because once out of that nursery's hands who is to say if the plants are properly protected from nematodes?
