Florida doesn’t have inspection stations like California, so intercepting a few fruit trees under a tarp in your pickup truck isn’t going to heppen. Out of sight, out of mind. Now if your truck has 50 or a hundred trees and enough axles to require a stop at a weigh station, you might have problems. We rely mainly on most people excercising some common sense- if you want a fruit tree in Florida it’s easier and cheaper to simply buy it in Florida, and smarter in that you’ll get rootstock here that is resistant to the nematodes that kill off non-Florida grown trees.

I'm a old cracker from north florida. There was once upon a time inspection sites on 441 and int 75 and I 10. Perhaps the destruction of the state has expanded more than I thought. There still are restriction's on shipping to florida, but that might have changed as well.
