It's Not the Plants, It's the Soil
We brought all our trees over. We engaged the services of a professional importer, they washed the roots and immigration approved the importation
after inspection.
We planted them that same day and they are still thriving here after nine years.
Otherwise, there is a very good nursery in El Descanso valley, right off the free road to your left as you pass the dunes. The family is very nice,
they have a large selection on two hectares (guessing) and will help you with finding the plants that you want if they aren't already on site.

You can take all the cutting you want out of our garden (lots of succulents)!

We have been bringing plants to our place in Las Gaviotas for years, never problem...and there is another nursery just south of us on the west side
of the road, right next door to the horse rentals...about a mile north of Primo Tapia!!(sp)
Mexico!! Where two can live as cheaply as one.....but it costs twice as much.....

Succulents are easy to smuggle across. Take cuttings and wrap in damp paper towels. Put in purse. When you get to the house... Put in dirt. If they
catch you...repeat.

We brought all of our large potted plants across- little by little after being turned away the first time when in a truck. The worse that happen for
trying is they turn you around an d you get to use lane 24. Then you drive to another crossing and get turned back again. Then you bring them in
little by little.

dianaji --if I may ask, what species do you collect? I can sympathize--I had to donate my extensive collection of Dudleya when I moved out of
California.

Maybe seeds would be a better option or, are these plants considered pets?

I would look for a ag university or someplace like the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botonical Gardens ...
Just hit that network search engine ...
The pics here are of part of the Huntington Botanical Gardens in San Marino CA
Hope you find a home for your collection .
