returning to the USA with a plant on board

I have a banana tree on board my trawler and am headed to the Bahamas next month. The tree was purchased in the USA and I have the health cert and receipt. I can see the form I need to fill out to get it into the Bahamas but what do I need to do to get it back into the USA when I return?

Has anyone dealt with this before? Or am I just overreacting? I hate to have US customs tell me to throw it overboard.

Thanks!
John
