No matter where you are,
I can send you some of my cuttings!

If you are interested in a lot of cuttings, this is not for you, but if you just want some to get started, then I can help you. I have been experimenting with sending small packages (less than a pound) to several different countries. My list of successes includes Korea, Netherlands, Lithuania, Japan, Greece, Germany and many packages to Canada. I sent these packages via air mail, no insurance, no special markings, and the contents were declared as hand crafted gift. Not too far apart from the truth, since I did apply a knife to the cuttings and the are made out of wood.. Every package arrived to its destination within 7 days, good enough for the cuttings to survive. So why can't I use the regular mode of shipment? Normally every country requires that live plant shipments include a phytosanitary certificate which costs the buyer $25+ per variety and is issued by the USDA. Some countries even require an import license which has to be requested from the State Department. After all the paperwork, when the package arrives to the country of destination, customs will hold it for a few days to a couple of weeks in "quarentine" and inspection. By the time the package is released and delivered, the cuttings are dead in many cases. If you want to bypass all that, and do it the way I have been doing it, there is a catch. You are taking risks that the package will never arrive, or that customs will open it, inspect it, and discard it and you will be very upset.. but losing $25 is much better than losing. $85. Keep in mind, I will do my part, and ship it. If the package never makes it, it will be your loss, not mine. So far I have been lucky, but that could change. I have had some bad experiences shipping cuttings far away such as Indonesia, Mongolia and Argentina. Transit takes too long (over 2 weeks) and the cuttings have died in the process. No, I will not reship, that is your loss. What cuttings can you buy to do this? Any cuttings from my 2 bud cutting page . Keep in mind, these are available only from December to June. How will they be shipped? Airmail letter or Air Mail Parcel Post. How much will it cost you for shipping charges? Please visit the USPS web site, find your country and from there scroll down to air mail or air mail parcel post to see the rates. The link to that page is here. If your package is less than 1/4 lb, most likely it will cost less than $5 to ship it. How many cuttings can I get in a pound? Depends on the variety. Please refer to the chart below. What grows where you are? In general the poplars I carry will grow north of the 30th Parallel. For the Southern Hemisphere is of course South of the 30th Parallel.- The DN-34 is grown extensibly by phytoremediation agencies near Orlando Florida, at 29 degrees north. Willows I have seen weeping willows growing at 8 degrees north of the Equator and 10,000 feet above sea level, so I would venture to say they grow just about anywhere. Privet It comes from China and takes the cold temperatures quite well. I don't know if it will grow close to the tropics, you would have to try them. The best way to find out what grows in your area is to visit the Forest Service web site of your country.
