There was a mention of Somerset Seedless grapes recently. I was looking 
around the web to see who sold them.
I ended up looking at the Raintree Nursery site (they didn't list 
Somerset Seedless). I started looking at their list of available cultivars
http://www.raintreenursery.com/catalog/searchresults.cfm
and noticed most of their grapes had some notation such as PROHIB TO NY 
& CA. Since I live in NY state, I'm wondering when this happened. Does 
NY (for example) prohibit the sale of certain grape cultivars but allow 
others? Why?
Some are prohibited on Oregon but not in NY or CA. Some are prohibited 
in NY and other states but no problem in OR. Why are some states afraid 
of some cultivars and other states afraid of different cultivars. Maybe 
I'm missing something obvious.
