Yea Bosco, thank you, mailed yours out today. I ran out of the really thick tip cuttings so in addition to the best tip cuttings I had left I threw in 3 non-tip branches that are thicker. :-) Sue

I am drooling right now with all the 'free' offers. But I live on the other side of the world. God willing, next year I'll be making another trip to USA hopefully. And...

Hi Jack, Wow that was fast shipping! They are packaged in coconut coir. I heard about the coir from a plumeria grower friend of mine and thought I'd give it a try. I've been rooting cuttings in it for about a year now with good results. As I mentioned in an earlier post, you can leave the cuttings bagged or rinse and put them in your favorite growing medium. Good luck! Sue

Got the cuttings. Unfortunately they sat in the mailbox for a little while but I'm hoping they're fine. The coir may have actually helped insulate them. They're in their new home now in rooting cups. Thank you so much, they're very nice cuttings!
Side note, I noticed whenever someone posts a bunch of varieties on ebay like Jon's been doing, there's always a flurry of postings by the scammers started shortly there after with the same names. Of course they usually add rare to the name. I'm just waiting to see the 'rare' Celeste eBay listing so I can laugh my butt off!

I have a rare Brown Turkey for sale, it is so rare that no one, and I mean no one else owns the one that I am holding in my hand.
