I sell plants on eBay. Kinda like turning yard rubbish into cash. You have to take the plant/cutting/seeds to the inspection station in Hilo (around the corner from Tyke's Laundromat) along with the box it is going to be mailed it. They inspect it for free, write down your address and the address on the box, then let you tape it up in the box (bring tape). After it is sealed, they put red stamps all over it and then you can mail the box away.
Let's see, the plants have to be bare root (all dirt washed off and roots wrapped in moist newspaper and plastic) and you can't send plants with roots to Arizona, Lousiana, Texas and California, is it? There's four states which can't get roots, I'd have to go check.
I was doing well selling sprouted coconuts on eBay (this was several years ago) then someone else swiped my advertisement (how rude!) and started selling coconuts cheaper so it wasn't worthwhile to take them all the way to the inspection station anymore.
If you grow fruits and vegetables, you can sell that real well!
