Has anybody gotten their cuttings from UC DAVIS?

I requested January of 2014 and have not received them yet, but they say as late as April plus I had multiple requests since then, so probably not so straight forward.
Some folks have received theirs already.

There was a topic that was locked recently that got ugly, so hopefully that won't happen again. If we can refrain from posting our justifications for requesting or shipping cost, it will probably work out.

I got mine.

Got mine a few weeks ago. VdB and CdD. Put them in shoe boxes with some coir and perlite and they seem to like it. The first one is the VdB

I havent received or heard anything yet
Coop

Nothing here. I screwed up my order though. It was my fault. I think I'll be the last one to get my order.

I called them yesterday. A very kind lady mentioned that they are putting my order together and I can expect them in approximately 2 weeks.

Woooohoooo! Christmas in March! Randomly just recieved and email from UPS with tracking info! I love that I had forgotten all about them! Hopefully all the ones I ordered make the shipment! It says it's 5lbs.

I had ordered:

Black madiera
Celeste
Violette de Bordeaux
Col de dame
Ischia Black
Alma

We shall see!

I've heard no Black Madiera this year. Last year I got 1 cutting of it and it failed. :(

I got my Email today, saying they would be delivered  this Thursday,  by UPS! I can't even remember what I ordered, I forgot to write it down...: )

Got my email today too!

I just got an email saying they will be shipped on 4-1-15, I too forgot about it and forgot what I ordered, lol. 

Hoo hooo, got my shipping notification from FedEx today..

I spoke to Mary today. My requests should ship next week sometime.

Yeap, same here. I think the label was generated automatically by the system, but not at the shipping time. Spent all Thursday waiting with a case of cold beer.
Beer is gone, no cuttings were seen. On a positive side, the beer was damn good in 100F heat :) 

Nothing here either.

I first spoke to Mary a couple days prior. She said I would not believe how overloaded her desk was right now. I said oh yes I would!

 

My cuttings arrived today via UPS! Yes mine also had said shipped for a week or so—don't worry they will arrive!

So I had ordered 8 varieties and I recieved 4 varieties for a total of 6 cuttings. I recieved:
3 Alma
1 Violet de Bordeaux
1 Col de Dame
1 Celeste

Excluded were:
Black Madeira
Ischia Black

I was super excited for the Black Madeira, but I am not complaining! Going to go take some neighborhood cuttings now and then run to Home Depot to get a large enough clear box to use my spaghnum moss rooting method!

I am so excited!

My Box arrived yesterday:

In the box: 1-Col DE Dame
                   3- Early Violet
                   3-Nazarti


NOT in the box: Ischia Black
                           Black Maderia
                           Skardu Black      : (



Hope everyone gets at least get some they ordered! Good Luck!

Got mine yesterday.

Received:

3 alma
3 panache
3 excel  (a surprise! I forgot I ordered this...nice thick cuttings too!)
2 barnisotte
1 VDB
1 Ischia Green
1 Celeste (why I didn't just go buy a plant for 10 dollars is beyond me, in hindsight)

Did not receive
Verte (surprised about this...didn't realize it was so popular....or so unhealthy...one of the two)
Ischia Black
Black Madeira

I split all of them into 2, as many were 10-12 inches.  I do feel guilty...I want to donate to them or something, as I fear my contribution to "research" or "agricultural education" is limited.  They obviously put a lot of time and effort into this, and I am grateful.

As to everyone else...good luck!

Frank if you still want a nazarti, message me. I have a few neglected small plants from last year.

Received a notification that a shipment is pending. No idea what I will get since I went a bit overboard with requests over the course of the year. I'll be happy with any. Just wish I could find a source for native persimmon virginiana root stock just in case I receive any to graft.
