For the last several years I’ve made small orders of bulbs, rhizomes, and other bare-root plants with phytosanitary certificates from nurseries in the UK and Japan with no problems. These orders have always been for 12 or fewer plants without the need for a permit, per the APHIS "Plants/Plant Parts for Planting” protocols. A friend in California has just received an alarming email from our favorite Japanese nursery that any further orders - regardless of size - will require a permit. I couldn’t find any changes on the APHIS web site. Has anyone else experienced this apparent change in policy?
