whenever i’ve crossed through an agricultural border, someone has told the story of the lovely British gardeners who were bringing some of the pretty ivy they had found back to the UK with them. poor dears almost introduced poison Ivy to England!
i’m sure it’s just a customs urban legend told to scare all those apple-wielding tourists. just think, you could have brought the plague of macouns to Scotland!
