Do you have any information about cuttings from Israel listed on Amazon?

Link to the cuttings and you might get help. But if you are in US any cuttings you buy from overseas will likely be confiscated by USDA.

Never buy any plant material from out side the US. By all it all accounts it ends badly.

A visit from the US Department of Agriculture, followed by the confiscation of the plant material and possible any plant material that may have been exposed to the material being confiscated. In some cases fines may be imposed.

I am one of those that ordered some Fig Cuttings about 2 years ago from eBay, they were from Portugal. About 6 weeks after receiving them I got a call from the USDA Dept. They said they would come to my house and confiscate the cuttings and for me to put them in the Freezer, I did as they said! The USDA gentleman came to my House and confiscated the cuttings and explained to me the dangers of importing plant Material that could introduce disease here in the US.. I was taught a good lesson, I will stick to buying from just US sellers on eBay!

Monsieur FrankAllen, do you know if this also goes for seeds?

I would never buy anything from across the pond unless I have the proper documentation. A couple of years ago, I purchased some seeds from overseas.https://www.aphis.usda.gov/wps/portal/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/sa_international/sa_travel?1dmy&urile=wcm%3Apath%3A%2Faphis_content_library%2Fsa_our_focus%2Fsa_plant_health%2Fsa_import%2Fsa_permits%2Fsa_plant_plant_products%2Fsa_plants_for_planting%2Fct_smalllots_seed
