damage by insects or other animals, fungi or algae adhering to leaves,

size and stage of growth, cleanliness, intact root systems and general
absence of damage or injury that could be attributable to plants
originating in the wild;
4) plants do not exhibit characteristics of wild origin, such as
damage by insects or other animals, fungi or algae adhering to leaves,
