Hello, I am aware of the california citrus budwood program but I cant seem to be able to find the Gold Nugget, and the Dekopon varieties. Do they have different names? Is it legal to buy them in other states or do I need to be located in california? I am in Hawaii and I really want to graft these two varieties onto my valencia orange tree. Please let me know or point me in the right direction if anyone knows. Thank you.

I don't know of other options other than ccpp, since that's all I'm allowed to use.  Dekopon is listed as Shiranui (https://citrusvariety.ucr.edu/citrus/CRC4249.html).  Looks like it is unavailable currently.  Gold Nugget (https://citrusvariety.ucr.edu/citrus/goldnugget.html) can usually be found around easily, even in our home depots. e.g. https://www.fourwindsgrowers.com/products/copy-of-gold-nugget-mandarin-patented?variant=3756748668941.  Given the costs of shipping from ccpp, I think it would be more cost-effective to get the plant from any nursery and pull any scions from that, unless you have other budwood choices anyways.
