I did not post “HAI” with the intentions of a negative teasing, it was all in fun. I would excpect this if I were to try and post to a Japanese speaking site. But I’m the type that smiles all the time as well. Just having fun, and hope I did not offend you @Kendo because I was not trying to. I enjoy this site because of the diversity of people and places.@Kendo, what happened with the olive tree you wanted to bring home from Italy?
Please don't take offense at the teasing about "hai". I suspect that English is not your first language; I admire someone who can speak more than one language.
Good luck. I wouldn't be surprised it you could get a visit from CBP upon your plant's arrival at your house and face possible confiscation of the tree. Along with the permit and bare rooting, a two year quarantine is probably necessary for the tree.Come to Bonsai the Bonsai Craftsman in Vince. He make the tree ready for me. Hai I go online for 587USDA permitting. I get the shipping labels to send to Antonio and he will send me in the mail tree. He coming bare roots. Hai Hai
Thank you, Thank you.

Can't see why you're importing it. there are world class olives out in So. Cal. ready for the buying (and they can't be anywhere near as expensive as this tree is going to be...)

You think you know, but you not know. Thank you.
OK, I don't know. you apparently don't know much more than me, since you're asking here about experiences. Relying on someone outside the U.S. for importation advice into this country (aka in Italy) may not be a great thing to do.You think you know, but you not know. Thank you.
I'd been wondering about the restrictions on what amounts to a crop plant into California which has a budding olive oil industry...Importing an Olive from the land of Xylella?
That's responsible.

FWIW--xylella is having effects on olive trees into the U.K.

Don't know if the USDA is on this, but I'd bet they're watching...
I don't see it getting past customs. How often have we heard of this being done from anywhere outside the US?Good luck.
