Well if you want to spend the money it's possible to bring in anything almost, but I think now it's something like $125 or so for a certificate, whether that's the actual cost or the cost plus the charge for the nursery's time to go through the hassle I don't know. But as has been pointed out on another thread, the huge shipments that cross the border every spring most decidedly don't have every plant checked, a neighbor got a healthy looking gooseberry and it didn't produce gooseberries, it produced a bumper crop of worms which did in the bush. Seemingly our climate is too cold for them as they've never been seen before or since, whatever they were.
Most nurseries understandably want nothing to do with phytosanitary certificates, we aren't a big enough market to make it worth while. One Green World used to sell to Canadians but won't anymore, just more hassle than it's worrh. Or so they said a few years back when I asked.
