Has anyone successfully shipped young plants from the east coast to west? I'm thinking to ship something from NJ to SoCal and the concern is how they'll do inside the air plane. Ground shipment is out of question since it takes too long. Already checked CA's laws and they don't prohibit ficus which I'm trying to ship, it's just subject to surface soil inspection for pests and that's if you're driving accross the border I take it.

the best time to ship them is the dormancy period in sphangnum moss and packing peanuts. ive had 2 trees shipped in late summer from cali to new york and the were held in quarentien for 2 weeks cuz the box said "live aquatic animals" on it ...not the brightest idea ...after 3 weeks in a box and sitting who knows where, they were fine
