Your user name suggests that you live in the state of Georgia, if so Georgia is a USDA ACP/HLB quarantine state, so it is illegal to ship citrus plant materials into or out of the state see https://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/plant_pest_info/citrus_greening/downloads/pdf_files/nationalquarantinemap.pdf

Ike Trees can come into GA, but once they are in, they cannot leave. I learned that fact from Stan McKenzie of McKenzie Farms in SC last year. At the time, I was inquiring which types of trees he was bringing to sell during the Southeastern Citrus Expo which was being held in Savannah. If you check every online citrus nursery that ships trees, GA has not been classified as a fully quarantined state yet to my knowledge.

I live in GA too and have had no problems purchasing trees online and receiving them from Four Winds Growers or Harris Citrus Nursery.

Denise that is interesting given the map in the link above, I guess the quarantine rules on import vary by state.

Ike, I was really shocked when I learned of the quarantine myself as I had no idea. Georgia is not really known as a citrus growing state, but it is trying. We have orchards near Statesboro which is close to Savannah and others along the southern border. I didn't know this until I started following the Southeastern Citrus Expo, Georgia Citrus and Georgia Citrus Association's FB pages.

I have been purchasing as many citrus trees that my heart desires before our state becomes fully quarantined. It's just a matter of time.
