If legal, does anyone know of any companies that allow you to mail order fresh fruit? Not gift baskets, but boxes of fresh fruit. And can I bring boxes of fruit in my checked luggage flying within the US into California?
--------------------
Yes and No. California is the fruit basket of America, so we are strict about things that could bring pests or diseases to plant life. So does neighboring Arizona. You can ship fruit from commercial growers that will certify that the fruit was inspected and safe. If you were driving into the state the fruit right off the tree would be confiscated at an Ag Check point usually close to the border. You can take it on the plane if it was purchased and packaged for retail sale, but if it came directly from trees in your local area. please do not bring it. The state is almost broke, and the costs to eradicate pests can run into the millions.
