Hi Frank, PayPal sent. Thank you for your second generous offer... ;)
I'm sure you'll find me in your PayPal history for my details.

Thanks for the offering! Hopefully, I got in under the wire. PayPal sent.

OK, that pretty well does it, everyone.

Thank you for participating. They are freshly cut so hopely, rooting should not be a problem.
Remember that the Green Ischia is the bigger bundle and the Morocco is marked with a white M.

I would love updates on the Morocco, as it is a mystery fig for me. The mother tree was a huge beast located a mile from the Casablanca seaport on private property, so I can't believe it would be allowed to grow that large if it did not produce large, black delicious Moroccan figs. :))

Got mine today! Two fewer available spots on the frankenfig come spring. Thanks again!

Hey Frank....Got mine today! Great Packing..... Thanks so much. : )

Been tracking mine.  The expected delivery date was yesterday but never showed up.  Hope they come today.  Our predicted temperature for tonight is 2 degrees F and not sure if they would survive the night in a postal truck. 

Thanks again Frank.

Frank, once again, Thank you so much for wonderful Green Ischia and Morocco cuttings, They have been washed, ends have been deept in Paraffin and refrigirated for future rooting in late January.

Got mine today
Thanks Frank

Mine, too.  Looks like the survived the trip despite a couple of days travel in record low temperatures.

Frank, did you clean these before sending them?  They look very clean!

Thanks again,
Jim

You are all very welcome. It was my pleasure!

Jim, I did not clean them. Fortunately, there is very little air pollution in this part of the country.

Thanks Frank, they look real good.

Finally opened the package and there was a bonus cutting: thanks Frank!
The cutting has got what I believe is the letter "M"; is it Marseilles?
Thanks again Frank

Frank my cuttings just arrived and they look great.  Thanks.

hey Sal

I saw your question about the letter "M" and in one of Frank's recent posts he said:

Remember that the Green Ischia is the bigger bundle and the Morocco is marked with a white M.

Frank, just recieved the package today. I was so bummed when I saw the other forum members posting on Saturday to tell you they got them only to have an empty mailbox when I got home. But, it's for the best, being in the North East, I was unsure if they would weather the trip with the VORTEX in play, and here they are, healthy and prepped for rooting. Thank you so much Frank. It is a great thing you did for this forum and for new enthusiasts looking to spread good wood. As one of my first seasons, I am especially keen to acknowledge the community and those like yourself who selflessly fret over mailing lists and packing materials only to receive an electronic "Thanks!" from someone you may never have the pleasure of meeting in person.

Frank, you and those forum members who I have met in person and through correspondence here embody the values of generosity and community that we so desperately need more of in this world.

Thank you, sir. May we all be so inclined when we are in similar circumstances.

 

Thank you Frank,

 They arrived safely in 52* degree weather and the Morocco cutting will be well taken care of with updates this spring.

Thank You Again!

Got a package today Frank. Nice cuttings in perfect condition. Thank you!

Woo hoo……… got mine today too.  In perfect condition!   

After seeing so many others already receiving their cuttings, I was beginning to feel like the orphan.     I checked the USPS tracking number yesterday and it appears my cuttings got stuck in a snow drift somewhere between Tallahassee and the west coast.    Hummm, 10 to 11 days in transit, maybe they have already started rooting………….. LOL

Thanks again Frank for your generosity.  I promise not to let the gnats get these this year.

Got mine, thanks!  I bet that Morocco would do well on ebay.  Truly a Princely gift.  Thanks!
