TNLA worked with TDA to allow the sale of citrus trees within the quarantined area and make the process as easy as possible for our members. Call the TDA San Juan office to obtain your compliance agreement if you are a retail nursery in the quarantined area and still have citrus trees within your inventory. If the quarantine is extended with another detection of citrus greening, we will have this in place for our other retail nurseries. Call or email Jim Reaves if you have any questions.The current approach involves only two forms and does not require the customer to leave the nursery or wait for TDA processing of a request.
1. Compliance Agreement. For nursery to complete and submit to TDA for approval.
2. Information Sheet. To be completed by retail customer, with assistance from nursery.
First the customer clarifies with the nursery that the customer plans to plant the trees permanently at some address (the customer's home or business) inside the Citrus greening quarantined area.
The customer then selects the desired regulated trees andobtains aninformation sheet from nursery.
The customer completes Section G, gets help from thenursery in completing Section H, then signs and dates the information sheet.
The customer, completes the purchase, goes home (or to business) and plants the trees.
The nursery retains the completed information sheet.
Within 7-days following the sale, the nursery duplicates and submits a copy of the information sheet to TDA. The nursery retains their copy of each information sheet for 2-years following theassociated sale.
