Has anyone bought any of these? I remember someone seeing a nemotode on one of the trees they were selling but I can't find the thread to save my soul!

I was thinking the mini nut look pretty good.

They do look good.  Turkey has the wasp so it's a gamble getting anything from there.

I purchased some off of eBay and 4 months later had a USDA agent KNOCK ON MY DOOR to confiscate them and educate me on the dangers of importing things without quarantine, proper procedure, etc. I get it. I do. So maybe have them do a transaction outside of eBay and buy at your own risk. The cuttings I got were great. They arrived quickly and rooted well. I was sad they all had to be destroyed however. Perhaps if they come knocking, offer them a bunch of brown turkeys and put on a sad face.

Forget importing them. There are however a handful of domestic sources where some of the Turkish cultivars are available. Jon has Patlicans and two or three others have Sari Zebeks and Mini-nuts.  Some were started from seeds and others were brought to this country legally or were brought here before it became illegal to bring them in. Keep your eyes open on Ebay for Sari Zebeks and watch for Jon's list of available cultivars and eventually you will be able to get some of these cultivars. Hopefully some of the 4F members who have been successful in starting new plants will be able to tell us how they perform here and have more cuttings to share in the future. This has been a tough year for most of us.
