If a guy was to bid from Canada is it possible to import them here?

I was wondering the same thing. Does the "sp" mean it's different in some way? If so I wonder what is different about it.

sp probably means Species . Not sure why it would say that unless it doesn't have a species name.
Importing from Canada is easier with chickens than it is from Europe so it may be easier with Bamboo too,

Is anyone selling the Shanghai 3? Maybe they just had room for more in the shipment and it was something they just did not have? with Poultry eggs the importation fee is a set price i think. Now you also do not have to keep them somewhere in a quarantine facility for 16 months either so I'm sure its different

re: Gerry
Get on the waiting list for Bamboo Botanicals pronto, it should be ready next year, maybe sooner.

I can send you a rhizome of S3 in summer unless I see something worth chopping should I ever be able to get at it. Might be able to send along to the ARS Victoria event with a friend.

Think you'd still have to quarantine from Canada but alot faster getting to the US than from EU.

I don't think they've decided on which species Shanghai #3 belongs to hence the P. sp S3. Someone said it looks to be close to dulcis??????

'Gerry' is on my list, too. Unfortunately I doubt I could swing the winning vote.

How much do they usually sell for at these auctions? Like a ballpark number. Hundreds or thousands?

The 'sp' means that the correct species has not been determined.

I know that some of the plants that were on the import list might be in the US but were issues with the previous importation.

The new imports in past auctions have ranged from $40 to Thousands so it depend on how much interest there is in the plant. Some chapters have also financed importations and have auctioned off plants. Most of the high value plants have been purchased by groups of people that have pooled their money to buy the plant.
