New Plant Virus? Male

Thank You Leafmite.

It is the bacteria's liking to hardwood that has got custom spinning I recon, as the very, very most of our forest/bushland is made up of Gums Tree. ( to simplify & condense the term Australia hardwood)

The importing of plant material into Australia if you are not really known & also are not in the know is a nightmare to put it mildly.

Have got to the point of the last rubber stamp to import with the items purchased and then to be refused entry and losing all fees and plant purchase funds.

When I asked the border inspection people the other day about importing bulbs & divisions they were not happy.

Someone like me is going to get zero info about any of this from the customs system. Only got some info when I could search the bacteria's name.

To get a refusal to import happens after you pay a lot of fees sadly. That has been my experience anyway.

So the by far main nursery importers of tillandsia into Australia are not idle about getting biosecurity to get on their bike and fix the no import issue of tillandsia.

Paradise Nurseries main complaint is the simple fact that xylella has never been reported as ever being found in any tillandsia anywhere, never.

But this issue that biosecurity jumping the gun and stopped imports was recognised but does not change the fact that the extremely complication procedures still have to happen to free up the import ban.

It is going to cost this nursery a fortune to jump through all of biosecurity hoops.

Still nobody knows nothing......
