Plants with bamboo stakes denied entry to the U.S.
The
Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has raised concerns about the
export to the U.S. of any plants containing bamboo stakes from China, as
well as a separate matter related to the import of Ficus originating in China.

The
CFIA reported that an exporter recently had their load turned back at
the U.S. border because they used unsplit bamboo stakes for supporting
their plants.
