CA & Ore. nurseries sue to re-open South Carolina market

March 10, 2010 --

From Oregon Association of Nurseries,

Sacramento, California – The California Association of Nurseries and Garden Centers (CANGC) and the Oregon Association of Nurseries (OAN) today filed a suit in U.S. District Court in Columbia, South Carolina, seeking to overturn a new regulation aimed squarely at blocking California and Oregon nursery growers from shipping their plants to that state.

The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) maintains strict regulations related to Phytophthora ramorum (sometimes referred to as Sudden Oak Death) to protect forest health, landscapes, and nurseries across the country. Nurseries in Oregon and California have an outstanding record of compliance with these rules.
