Brent, there is some misconception about rooted plants and CA. There is a problem shipping to CANADA...that CA, but here in California, the other CA, I've never had any problems receiving living plants from individuals or nurseries.
DRIVING them across the border from AZ is a whole different thing! They won't even let you bring any fresh fruit! If you have some, they confiscate. They fear the spread of the fruit fly. There is no check point for Nevada though (Bring your $$$ to Las Vegas), and not sure about Oregon. The CA/Mexico border patrol is checking for illegals and drugs mainly.
I know Canada is very strict. I sent some sour dough starter up there this year and had to fill out a whole customs form and declare what it was. It made it with no problems. A plant is a whole other ball game! I can understand a living plant, but they won't even allow alcohol to cross their borders.??
On the topic at hand, I'm mailing my check today!!
