<pre>Dear Maz,
How are you? I understand your wish and excitement to obtain trees from
Italy but be prepared for some lenghthy quarantine proceedures when you hit
the Australian Coast. There has been several problems recently in imported
trees from both Italy and Israel into Australia and New Zealand. I don't
wish to put you off but a caution is necessary if we are to remain free of
the worst olive diseases that are prevelant outside Australia. Do you know
exactly what varieties you are getting and if they are available in
Australia.
Best of luck
Sharn Hunkin
