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. __________________ ATL, GA, Zone 7b In ground varieties (22):Osborne Prolific, Conadria, Petit Negri, O'Rourke, Hardy Chicago, Texas BA-1, Alma, Celeste, Kadota, Green Ischia, Brown Turkey, Black Mission, Violette de Bordeaux, Texas Everbearing, Magnolia/Brunswick, LSU Purple, Dark Portuguese, Black Greek, Ronde de Bordeaux, Champagne, Dark Portuguese, Hybrid 0023.

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 :) __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona. USDA z 10a, SoCal

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! __________________ -Joe- Queens NY Zone 6b-7a depends on who you ask!

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! __________________ In GA, Zone 7b/8a Wish list: more space to put in figs.

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. __________________ ATL, GA, Zone 7b In ground varieties (22):Osborne Prolific, Conadria, Petit Negri, O'Rourke, Hardy Chicago, Texas BA-1, Alma, Celeste, Kadota, Green Ischia, Brown Turkey, Black Mission, Violette de Bordeaux, Texas Everbearing, Magnolia/Brunswick, LSU Purple, Dark Portuguese, Black Greek, Ronde de Bordeaux, Champagne, Dark Portuguese, Hybrid 0023.

Thanks, Paul I was honest about it. I said I was experimenting to see which ones will grow best in my soil with minimal irrigation. That's hardly research, but it has been a good enough excuse for the past two years. __________________ Paul the Fig Tree Destroyer in Fallbrook, CA (Zone 10A )

I just completed my order for next year and got the confirmation. Man, that was tough! Do you know how many Wine Grapes I had to scroll through? OMG 1,670 something!! Ficus Carica was cake! Only 217 varieties. Pistachio. Easy. Got an unknown male and female. Ordered one Pomegranate that is so sweet they make wine out of it. THEN, because I use that Fed Ex account rarely, I had to open a new account because they closed the previous one due to lack of use....... I put my Fed Ex number in the section for Comments. Here is what I used for their research section, and it is the truth. Intended use of material: I plan to root these cuttings and plant them in the Groasis Waterboxx's here on our property in Riverside County. They will require no irrigation and I will be able to report to you after 2-3 years. Our plan is to convert our entire property to the waterboxx technology to help save water in the drought, yet produce healthy fruit and nut vines and trees.

Some of the "research" we can do might be helpful. For instance, CDD blanc here (in the ground) withstood 12F briefly this winter with little if any damage. Enderub was forgotten outside and made it through the winter in a pot and is bearing figs. __________________ Scott North Georgia Zone 7b

Nothing wrong with calling to check the status of your request. I expected my requests had been lost and called a few weeks ago. Maybe they were before I called.

I couldn't help wondering so I sent Mary an email asking if they were still shipping cuttings and she assured me that they are still shipping. Three weeks later, last Thursday, I received my cutting request in the mail! It was more exciting than Christmas! I setup my automated mist propagation system and added my Fig and Mulberry cutting to the mist bed. What a feeling!

I didn't get a notification either. They just showed up in the mail. Nothing wrong with sending Mary an email asking to verify they have your order. I ordered last July, so yes you can order for next year and I believe the cut off is in November. __________________ Have: Panache, VDB, RDB, LSU Gold, Col De Dame Blanco, Green Ischia, Celeste, O'rourkie, Conadria, LSU Purple, Magnolia, Marseilles White, Brown Turkey, Vernino, Grose Monstruese, Barnisotte, Osborn Prolific, Dauphine, Early Violet, Sweet George, LSU Gold, Petite Negra, Marselles VS,
