Hey everybody! I just wanted to give a shout to drivewayfarmer! I know purchasing cuttings on eBay can be a risk, but I recently purchased cuttings from him and was blown away at his product and generosity! I payed for 3 cddn cuttings and paid a very reasonable buy it now price for them. However when I received the package of cuttings I had FiVE ccdn cuttings and a bonus of norella! I also purchased 4 Maltese falcon cuttings buy it now and received 9 Cuttings! I am no expert on cuttings but they all have plenty of nodes and are very healthy.
Overall I will purchase from him again and would recommend him to others, thanks so much drivewayfarmer!

Kerry is one of the most generous growers, F4F members, and eBayers that I have ever had the pleasure to deal with, super generous person and sends the healthiest of cuttings, you can count on them being true to the named variety. He has plenty more auctions so check them out otherwise I am going to buy some more even though I already have all the listed varieties.

This is great, BigMike. Congrats on finding such great product and such generosity. This is not so common anymore yet I find this group/forum to really have this very nice quality. A rarity almost.

No one should ever have any concerns buying from Kerry...just a fantastic guy.  He's always taken amazing care of me as well.  Can't say enough good things about him.

Same here. Kerry has always been very generous. I had gotten some cuttings last year and he sent me a bunch of extras. I bought again some this year and he did the same thing again. His cuttings are very healthy and rooted for me readily. "Thanks Kerry!!!"

Again, we are all writing to express our gratitude toward his generosity and in no-way should this create an "entitlement" mindset or set wrong expectations with forum members.

Good Luck rooting your cuttings bigmike.

I purchased multiple sets of cuttings from Kerry last spring and again this past month. The quality of his cuttings and generosity (extra cuttings) has always been appreciated.

Out of all the cuttings I've purchased, i've had the most luck with his which speaks to the quality of his cuttings.

Thanks again Kerry.

Wow, OK, thanks, I'm looking at buying some cuttings. I keep getting outbid for Maltese Falcon, one I would like to try. I have a limited budget for these things, hoping you all have this now and the winning bids will go down!

Hey Drew, I know how you feel, I was there once. All I did was wait until I could afford one, the price will come down. In the meantime there are several other varieties out there that taste great. "These things" will come down.
