All seed used to propagate plants of the generaBerberis, Mahoberberis, and Mahonia in protected areas, and all seed used to propagate plants of the genera Berberis, Mahoberberis, and Mahonia that are certified as rust-resistant for interstate movement into protected areas, must be produced at properties where a state inspector has verified that no wild or domesticated rust-susceptible plants are growing at or within one-half mile of the property.**

D Restrictions.

1. Prohibited Movement. The following regulated articles are prohibited from moving interstate into or through any protected area:

a. All Berberis seedlings and plants of less than 2 years' growth, and rust-susceptible Berberis plants, seeds, fruits and other plant parts capable of propagation.

b. Rust-susceptible Mahoberberis and Mahonia plants, seedlings, seeds, fruits, and other plant parts capable of propagation.

2. Restricted Movement: The following regulated articles may be moved interstate into or through a protected area with a certificate issued and attached.

a. Plants of at least 2 years' growth, seeds, fruits, and other plant parts capable of propagation of the genus Berberis that are designated as rust-resistant.

b. Plants, seedlings, seeds, fruits, and other plant parts capable of propagation of the genera Mahoberberis and Mahonia that are designated as rust-resistant.

Notes: Certification is not required for California destinations. The regulations require plants certified as resistant to black stem rust must be True to Type. For the purposes of this regulation, True to Type means "all plants in a shipment have the same vegetative characteristics. There is no evidence of hybridization on plants with at least 2 years growth in the genus Berberis. There is no evidence of hybridization on plants with 1 years growth in the genera Mahonia and Mahoberberis."
