Interstate & International Certification and Transport

require that all soil be washed from the finished root-ball (this bamboo
was bound for the 28 Queen’s Road Central Bldg.), and packed in sterile media.
Strict compliance resulted in total success.
The certification of plants bound for another state or country is usually a serious and complicated procedure. It calls for 100% compliance with the regulations of that specific region’s Agriculture Department. The majority of the nursery industry currently sell within their locale, preferring to avoid the routine inspections and stringent testing required by interstate and foreign certification processes.
However, Tornello Nurseries have been shipping live plants internationally (and, of course, domestically) for twenty years. In fact, we were instrumental in re-working the specimen tree certification process for shipments to California, and we supply bamboo to numerous landscape and interiorscape projects in that state; three are featured on this Website.
Tornello Nurseries bamboo is flourishing around the globe in interiorscapes and atria, as well as in zoological and botanical gardens.
