Barbados Cherry
Bourgainvillai

It will depend upon the species of Ferns.

I think the Kingsville is iffy.

I think it will also depend upon the variety of Azalea.

Ben: They used to check every vehicle entering the state. Not
just California, but Arizona, too.

I may have told this story on the net before but, in the 1950's my
family made a number of trips by car from Florida to California. Each time we
entered California, they would ask, "Where are you coming from?" When we said
Florida. The next question was always, "Do you have any Spanish moss?" We,
being native Floridians, always though this was so funny. Who would want the
stuff?

The California people were worried about the many insects that make
the moss home. Another good reason to leave it alone. Can you say "RED BUGS?"

What about placing the roots of the larch in a large icebox for 2 to 3
months and regulate the temperature around 32 degrees. Has anyone on
the list ever air conditioned a greenhouse would that work?

Thanks
Ben

The larch i collected about 10 years ago and am very very attached to
it. Its an amazing twin trunk larch and i don't want to let it go.

Well, based on history, I'm wondering if you'll take the advice
because it is something you don't want to hear, but Larch is
unlikely to survive in zone 8 and has no chance at all in zone 9.
Give it to someone who will take care of it and care for it as
much as you do! Retain visitation rights.

If you "don't want to let it go" you are likely to end up with a
heartwarming skeleton -- or a tree drying out by the side of the
road on The California-Nevada (or Arizona) border when the plant
inspectors find it -- and others. Get an equally-as-"amazing"
bristlecone pine or redwood or coast live oak or . . . something
that is native to the area and likely to live.

Well, Ben, if you're rich enough and determined enough to
buy freezers for your New York trees, feel free. Let us know how
and if it works out.
Just beware of taking shortcuts on the legal requirements
for importing your trees to Los Angeles, because protection of
agriculture is taken very seriously in California where it is a
multibillion dollar business.
I, too, would love to grow larches, but they will surely
die in my zone 8b/9a climate.
