Would an American help me get some seeds?

Hi,

I'm very interested in a species which is Robinia neomexicana, a kind of shrubby locust. I want it for my bees. After searching for months, I found an American man who is willing to sell me some seeds but he insists he won't send them outside of the US.

So, if you are American, could I have them sent to you and you resend them to me? I'd want you to split them in two envelopes to reduce the chances of losing all of the seeds. I'm in the European Union and apparently you need a phytosanitary certificate to buy seeds from outside, although I've bought seeds from several shops in America and Australia without said certificate and they haven't been returned or lost.

If you want some of the seeds, you can keep them. Needless to say I'll pay all of the shipping and some amount for the service.

So, not exactly related to bonsai but who knows, maybe this species would be suitable for bonsai. I may try it if I can get the seeds.

No. It's not a seed shop, but a tree nursery. The man agreed to sell me the seeds after I asked him directly by email.

I think the issue is that a lot of countries, don't know about yours, require an import permit and/or phytosanition certificate for importation as well as may have quarantine restrictions.
