Seng, You can order budwood from the Citrus Clonal Protection Program for a nominal cost. They have Chandler, Reinking, Sarawak, Mato Buntan, Kao Pan & Thong Dee pummelo budwood (scions) available 3 times a year. The next cutting is June 12, 2013. They also have a lot of information about Huanglongbing & Asian Citrus Physllid. All their budwood is certified HLB & other known pathogens free. There are strict rules that they explain about using & transferring budwood. You can get started here: http://ccpp.ucr.edu/index.html Be warned, you do NOT want to break the rules. Some nitwits in the LA area imported some HLB infected budwood from Asia a few years ago. The USDA & CDFA chopped down their trees & fined them. Not so terrible. The lawyers with the California citrus growers then went after them & destroyed their lives. Citrus growing in California is a multi-billion dollar industry. They have no mercy for anyone who might harm the industry however innocently. The regulations are not so difficult to learn & follow. Be smart. Good luck with the pummelos!

One other thing to think about though - when the "feels like" temperature is a good deal colder than the actual temperature, that is indicative of high winds, which as you know will rapidly dessicate plant material. If you must cut scions under these conditions, be cognizant of that and be sure to get them into a poly bag ASAP.

Shelley, i have a white, a yellow and a pink and would be happy to send you cuttings from each of them. I also have a lot of seeds from this summer that I will throw in for you. E-mail me your address and I'll be happy to send them to you. We lost our little beach cottage that had been in our family since 1948 in the storm surge from Ike. It was a block from the ocean in Gilchrist. It wasn't much to look at, but we spent many happy summer vacations there when we were growing up. In it were two full-sized Jenny Lind Beds, a "monitor-top" refrigerator, original wavy glass from the old windows, and a big old table my grandfather built. My DH and I spent our Thanksgiving holiday two years ago remodeling the kitchen and updating all the plumbing. My brothers had just built on a new deck. It will make me very happy to help you to put your garden back together again. Cheryl

I have the following from which I can take cuttings soon: elberta peach, moorpark apricot, burgundy plum, hosui and shinko asian pears, stella cherry, fuyu persimmon and brown turkey and celeste figs. I would be interested in Blackberry Thornless Triple Crown cuttings and Kazake Pomegranate cuttings.
