Jason says... On the other hand you might get lucky and they make it in. But more than likely you are going to get a nasty letter in the mail telling you that you were bad and not to do it again. I find that there's so many secret old fig varieties hiding in yards around Australia that you can keep yourself very busy finding those. | About the Author Jason Portland 26th September 2013 9:16am #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |
JakfruitEttiquette says... Agree jason, that fig may already be here? Plus drought, water restrictions, development-turning backyards into unit blocks, fruit fly restrictions, and passing away of older migrant Australians means alot of varieties under threat. Worth tracking those down too. I propose forming a White Choko Brigade, to counter the white shoe brigade and their like. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette 26th September 2013 11:09am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
starling says... I have looked through ICON definitions and conditions for importing ficus carica cuttings and....cannot find any. No doubt these come under the umbrella of: "All plant material must be grown and tested at a post entry quarantine facility approved by DAFF for growing tropical/temperate fruit species". That said, I recently imported some purple potato tubers from argentina, which is apparently a no-no, according to the man on the end of the telephone I spoke to today, when I called the DAFF. I asked him to explain how it is possible that I received them at all, and he could not. I think it is a lottery. Basically, if they are picked up by quarantine, my choices are to pay exorbitant amounts of money and wait nine months to get them, which I have absolutely no intention of doing, or else have them destroyed, which is what I'll be going with. Anyway, might get lucky, might not. S | About the Author starlingshoals@gmail.com 27th September 2013 11:36am #UserID: 8102 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
