My confirmation of shipment arrived today.

I honestly think I forgot to mail off an order this year :\  I guess that goes to show how out of it I've been since the kid got here.

First time ordering this year.  Mine are slated for arrival on Friday.  Anyone have any advice on rooting pomegranate cuttings?

Tim, pom yahoo group had a guide i posted on gardenweb here: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/fruit/msg111806059649.html

Im really annoyed by my UPS account, and prob switch to FedEx next year. I signed in all week, and today it asked me to update my information again, as if the 1month 'inactivity' limit had passed again (guess inactivity means deliveries vs signing in on website? heh).

Tim, there are 2 excellent articles on rooting pomegranates.  From Univ. of FL:
http://www.crec.ifas.ufl.edu/extension/pomegranates/guidelines.shtml

At the bottom of the article there is a link to USDA-Davis that describes how they propagate pomegranates. 

Now I'm curious, has USDA-Davis published an article on fig propagation?

Thanks guys!  Will read up before the cuttings get here tomorrow!

Just got mine.  A lot of them are over a foot long.  Should I cut them in half or use them as is?

Rob, yes.

Mine arrived today.

This is my first year ordering from UCD

DO they send them all out at once? I do not have any orders showing at Fedex yet. I had to recently update my CC# info, so I hope that did not affect my order in anyway.

However, I did order late in the year, probably only a month or so before the December deadline, so maybe that could be why.

I have never used a FedEx account before, do they usually send you shipping info?

Thanks!

Hi Christy,

Thanks Cathy!

Actually, what happened is that my puppy beagle chewed my debit card, and I had to get a new one! LOL!  So it still had the same numbers on it, but not the same security code, and there were a few days this week where I was in limbo with the old card being cancelled, but the new card had not arrived yet, so I was hoping that they did not try to charge my account during those few down days.

I never used FedEx before, but I see there has been no charges under billing history so I assume that all is good and that they did not try to charge me yet. I sent my order in November, so I assume i would be at the bottom of the list anyway.

Thanks again! Christy

i ordered 9 different cuttings. i got 5 out of 9. they are very healthy looking cuttings. per their invoice, the rest were not available at this time.

i got ton of calvert and ischi (?) white.. or was it green..

cutting them into about 4" with 3 nodes each, i ended up with at least 3 cuttings of each.. totaling 24 cuttings. i got 9 cuttings out of calvert, but i heard calvert doesn't do too well outside of cal.

I just received my tracking number for the fig cuttings I ordered from UCDavis and I had placed my order on 9/16/2011 so if you ordered around this time you should be hearing from them too.

Hi Pete,

Order date and reception date have no correlation.

Just wondering if anyone else is still waiting for their cuttings?

I have not received mine yet, and have not seen any activity on my Fed Ex account.

This is the first time I have requested from them, so just curious if anyone else is still waiting on cuttings too.

thanks!

Christy,

Yesterday I received a notice from FEDEX that a package from USDA was scheduled for delivery on the 5th. I put my order in very late. Hang in there!

Still waiting......:-(

Yes, I got a confirmation from UCD when I placed my order.

I just keep having issues with the Fed Ex site, and hope that something on that end is not the reason why. I have never used the account before, so did not know if maybe I had it set up wrong.

I check the billing page, and sometimes it says to call customer assistance because it cannot display the page. Although, I did just check again today, and it still shows no activity has been on my account.

I did update the CC# about a month ago, and that seemed to go through ok.

I will wait and see,

thanks guys!

Christy,

If UCD encounters a problem with your FedEx account, they will generally send you an email asking you to resolve the issue.

Thanks James! that is at least what I wanted to know. I figure if they are so busy and there is a problem, they may not go through the trouble, but it is good to know that they will.

Still no cuttings or a confirmation of it being sent yet. Will see what happens.......

Christy,
If for some reason UCD does not come through, shoot me a pm and I will be happy to share some of mine.

Finally received my UC Davis order.... I was worried for a while that it wasn't in the cards,. Last years order arrived very early March.  Many single cuttings, and I received almost all I asked for. It is  great day for my inner fig loving child.

Thank you so much Frank for the offer! That is so nice of you!!

I still have not received cuttings, or an email confirmation from Fed Ex. But will still wait a bit before giving up.

We will see,,,,,,,
