<DIV>This employee from Nature Hills Nursery said that the nursery is required
by law to treat their plants before they leave the nursery. Does anyone know
what law she’s referring to? It’s time to rewrite the law.</DIV>

<P>Barbara,</P>
<P>Thank you for reaching out to us today. I'm afraid since we ship to the
continental USA we are required by law to treat our plants before they leave the
nursery. Residual effects of the chemical applications we use are minimal as
they break down very quickly after exposure to the sun and water. If we were a
small, local grower we could be organic and Neonicotinoid free. However, bear in
mind that there are many other users of Neonicotinoids like farmers that use far
more product than the horticulture industry, which is simply out of our control
and we use the bare minimum. </P>
<P>Thank you,<BR>Charlotte</P>

<P>Thank you for choosing Nature Hills Nursery, the largest online nursery in
the U.S.</P><BR></DIV>
