Unfortiently my pregnant wife says I can't go to Brussels. The nations or the Japan 2017 big show. Even if she said I could go the tumor in my head probably knock me off befor then lol. I'm going to try and send a tree though if I can find some one close going.

For us its about a five hour drive. I am looking forward to even the drive. By the way, does anyone know how much trouble it would be to cut accross Canada with a tree in the back and make it back home again? That would simplfy the trip a great deal.

I know when I went to the ABS convention a few years back in Saratoga Springs NY that about half the trees were from Canada, so clearly people had brought them across. Bill I am sure will know... if he does not chime in here, I would shoot him an email.

Vance, it's a huge risk, and I think you would have a very difficult time getting them back into the U.S. USDA is very strict on these matters, they'll fine you just for not declaring an orange. I don't bring any of my trees over to our club for that very reason, that said, I would love to hear what Canadians have to do in order to display their trees in a U.S. show.
