I used to travel between Cleveland and Toronto a lot 15-20 years ago and
remember being asked about bringing fruit across the border. I did a Google
search and came up with this site:
http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:EPE8_PHyAfwJ:www.cc-wny.org/home/CanadaUSgoods.doc+bringing+fruit+from+canada+to+the+united+states&hl=en
They say that seasonal fruit grown in Canada is allowed but they don't give
any restrictions on quantity. They also note that:
"Agriculture Quarantine Inspection division of Customs and Border
Protection, is responsible for safeguarding agriculture by preventing the
entry of exotic agricultural pests and diseases into the United States."
Try doing a Google search to find the Customs and Border Protection website;
they might be able to give you the information you need.
