Thanks for the update beicadad!

In regards to transportation, do you have any idea on how they will be coming into the US? Will the roots be bagged, in a medium to keep them moist, or will it be a bundle of sticks and roots as is commonly seen in bare root stone fruit distributors?

K-rimes and I have been talking about the best way to transport them.  I don't have a truck shell, but I have a tarp and a cargo net that I frequnetly used to transplant plants on freeways to my farm.  I am thinking I will load the plants in and cover the roots with how ever many bags of potting soil (that I'll later use for potting up) necessary, watering it in slightly and getting on my way back to the Bay Area. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I’m planning on putting the trees in a plastic bag.
Fill a few inches of water.
Tie the bag.
Put in a bucket to keep bag upright.

Trees probably ready to plant by the time I get home.

Seller said the roots are wrapped in something to keep them moist.

OK the trees will arrive Thursday evening - not a great timing as it takes time to get an appointment with USDA. It means that likely the trees won't be cleared by UDSA before Monday. I am working with a customers broker to get the trees ASAP.

I spent a lot of time dealing with the seller/different customs brokers and even USDA back and forth... lots of lessons learned...

Sorry for lack of more frequent updates. The process is very stressful (many steps could go wrong) as it involves so many peoples' hope and money. I hope for the best and will keep you updated.

Should I plan to come down on Monday, then? I am the gopher for Central Coast and SF area so I really want to be there as quickly as possible for everyone (same vibe as you have for all of us)

I am trying to get an appointment with USDA tomorrow night to avoid the weekend delay. There is $300 afterhours charge by USDA but I think it's worth it. If successful the plants will be ready for pickup by Saturday...

If not, Monday will be the earliest date to get the plants from USDA.

Thanks for all your hard work.   Also let us know if you need any extra to cover the $300 charge -I would be happy to chip in for it.

$1.50 extra for each plant is worth it.
Saturday pick up is great.

Ok broker said I got an inspection appointment tomorrow night. It will be late night when I get the plants home. Hoping for a smooth inspection. You should plan for pickup on Saturday. I will send pickup instructions tomorrow night after getting the plants. Anyone know how to send group msg? Separate username by , or ;?

As to the cost, I am asking the seller to cover it since he did make a mistake that caused some delay.

Hey beicadad, thanks for all your yard work and definitely let us know if the seller won’t cover the extra $300. I’m crossing my fingers that these trees will be in good shape but I do realize that these trees are extremely difficult to keep alive.

Additionally, the PM system isn’t really working right now. Only 1/2 my sent messages are reported as received. Email will probably be better

Thanks Beicadad for all the work you put in.

I have not received any confirmation whether the pick up of plants is for tomorrow.  I hope I have not missed email or message.  I will keep checking this post for  updates.

I am at USDA. Really bad news - they found insects and the plants are on hold.

They will check on Monday if they need to be fumigated- if so the plants may be released by Tuesday. $600 extra charge.

If no fumigation needed, the plants will be released on Monday.

The only comfort I find is that the trees are in USDA facility which has AC.

So no pickup tomorrow. I wish I had better news.
