E bay listing look at the pics Nematodes

Take a look at the pictures and use the zoom.  They show the rooted cuttings and if you use the zoom you can see nematode roots. Don't think i would even try them.

Wow, good catch!

Thanks for the info. I had been wondering exactly what nematode roots look like. So they are the bumps?

That's sick! Somebody should email the seller.

Nematodes are really tiny worms, they are fairly transparent. Are you sure the white parts are not just roots?

Not the nematodes themselves. You don't see them. What you see is the result of what they are doing to the root. Knot/dump on the root. This will result in stunt growth and possible serious issue with the tree. If this infected tree is planted in you yard, your whole yard will get infected. Very very hard to get rid of.

FMV in nothing compare to this.

Item location is Turkey but odd email description in the body of the listing...look like cuttings placed in outdoor soil media in the last year and now they are rooted.  Hence the reason for import laws behind agri products for sure!

Looks like US Customs already has this seller's number, look at the negative feedback messages:  Attention US buyers!Be aware of customs confiscation.No PHYTO-SANITATATION cert.
