Last updated: August 2026 dataFruit- and nut-bearing trees, shrubs, and bushes imported as live planting stock serve orchard establishment and nursery production across the US agricultural sector. Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers, with New Zealand a notable source — particularly for apple and kiwifruit rootstocks and varieties developed under proprietary plant-variety protection programs. USDA APHIS regulates entry through phytosanitary certification and, for many species, mandatory import permits, given the significant pest and disease risks that exotic fruit tree material can introduce to US orchards.

Fruit and nut trees can harbor pests such as fire blight, citrus greening, and various moth species that pose severe risks to US commercial orchards. APHIS typically requires import permits specifying approved growing conditions, pest-free certification, and sometimes post-entry quarantine or inspection periods. Requirements vary significantly by species and country of origin.
Many commercially significant fruit tree varieties — particularly apples, cherries, and kiwifruit — are protected under Plant Variety Protection certificates or plant patents. Importers must ensure they hold valid licensing rights from the variety owner in addition to satisfying APHIS phytosanitary requirements; unauthorized importation of protected varieties can result in civil liability.
