I think our definition of "confirmation number" is somewhat different, but thanks for sharing your order details. I never doubted what you stated about your experience or that mine will be similar.

Howard came to our local CRFG chapter's scion exchange this past Sunday and after things slowed down I chatted quite a bit with him (we were guarding our treasurer who had all the money from entrance fees, supposedly).  Anyways, I asked him about this rumor and he said they will ship to everyone that they can.  He says they are really flooded with orders.  For instance, 136 people requested Black Madeira and they will try to send each person 1 cutting.

Howard also brought a lot of cuttings of Sierra to the exchange.  I told him it was my worst fig, not setting much fruit, and very bland.  He suggested I give it more time as his tree did poorly at first but in 2013 ripened up a lot of pretty good fruit.  Okay, I'll wait.  Digging it up is too much work anyways.

Thanks for the update, Harvey, I'd been wondering about that.

I really regret passing up submitting a UC Davis order now...

I sent an order in on Aug 12 and got the immediate confirmation of receipt.  Have heard nothing since then.  Guess we'll see.
