If you're ordering from outside Victoria, there are a few boxes we need to tick before your trees can cross state borders. One of them is TPP - Tomato Potato Psyllid. It's a pest that can travel on nursery stock and cause real problems for crops in other states, so each state has rules about what can come in and how.

​

​​From 8 December 2025, Victorian businesses sending nursery stock interstate need to meet the import conditions set by the destination state/territory for Tomato Potato Psyllid (TPP). These conditions vary depending on the destination and the type of nursery stock being moved.

​

We are fully accredited to treat, inspect and package stock for TPP ( Tomato Potato Psyllid ) , which means we can legally ship most items to NSW, QLD, SA. Your trees get checked, treated and we supply a PHAC ( Plant health certificate ) before they leave us. It adds a step, but it's what keeps everyone's plants (and farms) safe.

​

​​​​What is TPP and why does it matter?
TPP (Bactericera cockerelli) is a small sap-feeding insect that attacks plants in the Solanaceae family (including tomato, potato, capsicum/chilli and eggplant). It can also settle on non-host plants, which are treated as “carriers” for biosecurity purposes.

Since detections in Victoria, interstate movement rules have tightened and many states now require treatment, inspection and certification before plants can be shipped.

 

What is the ICA-62 accreditation
These are Agriculture Victoria accreditation pathways that allow accredited nurseries to self-certify eligible nursery stock for interstate movement under TPP rules.​

 

Which states are we accredited for?

• ICA-62 → NSW / QLD / SA 

• Please note that we cannot ship to  - TAS, WA or NT

 

What does this mean for our customers?
We are accredited and our IP number is V10503.

If you are ordering plants from us to be sent interstate, please allow extra time for biosecurity treatment, inspection and certification paperwork where required. 

 

Interstate certification fee - 
Allow an extra $90 + GST per order for certification paperwork, spraying, handling and new wrapping requirements.
