Hi Hal,
I have never ordered from any of the sellers. But have heard some take a long time to send. One gal ordered a bunch of cuttings. Box Got to customs, were too long they felt, for the box, and cut off all the tops of the cuttings!! she got the middle pieces. But you may luck out..one never knows with sellers. PErhaps someone on here has found a good one.

I personally haven't bought any of the Thai cuttings but there are a couple sellers on Ebay with great feedback ratings. The S&H along with the phytosanitary certificate can make the cuttings/plants very expensive (for me anyway).

I agree with Karyn. Also I have heard that some of the Thai growers have bought cuttings from growers like Jim Little in Hawaii. These cuttings are chopped up into smaller pieces which are then grafted on seedlings, given a new name and sold (or grown for cuttings that are sold). A number of the Hawaii growers will not sell to Asia expecially seeds. There seems to be some big problem but I do not know all the details. I think the problem is that if you get a bad deal you have little or no recourse half way around the world. Bill

Thanks KB'

I'm in the process of getting an import permit.Hopfully will decrease any delays in customs. An I read somewhere here in a post about a year ago. Some one was asking about suppliers from Thailand. Just wondering if anyone had followed up on it.

Thanks Karen for suggestion. But I'm trying to buy direct from supplier. To avoid bidding war...LOL

Karen,
On another chat someone said there is a seller who has plants already in the US. After 2 years I would still be careful about spending a lot of money on fancy plumeria. They may die easier than the old standards depending on were you live.

A couple of my husband's orchid suppliers are in Thailand so I'd been bugging him to see if they can get me any plumies. So far I don't think he's really asked but I still bug him occasionally. He did say that his orchid suppliers phytosanitary cert would only cover the orchids and another would need to be obtained for the plumeria. I'll certainly post if he ever does find anything out but I'm not holding my breath. lol
Karyn

Tdog... I must agree with you also. I have a few pennies put away for venture on this, there is no recourse I can take if things go wrong. But nothing venture , nothing gain. Plus I've been bit by the plummie bug. (LOL) That's why I'm doing my homework asking around. to lessen my chances of failure.But please believe me I value your opinon . And thanks for speaking up.

I know of a wonderful Thai located in Cali..He has 2 nurseries one in Oceanside and one at his home..All his plumeria come from Thailand ..His dad owns a plumeria farm in Thailand..most of the stuff you see on ebay is his ..and these sellers are going to his farm and selling it on ebay..I was there this weekend and came home with 6 beautiful plant ..all blooming so I know what I got ..He had Purple Jack's and Elsie in full bloom..Just breathe taking..I also found his pricing excellent ..that's why I got so many ..Anyone intersted please contact me..I will give all the info..

Something like this princess victoria?

Hello,
I never had problems with Thai exporters,most wholesalers are combined European/thai with agriculture background.
If you need adresses i can recommend you some.The succes in rooting Plumeriacuttings from Thailand and Singapore is high.
Brought back from Thailand also crafted ones,wich flowered within 3 months exactly what the seller told me.
Thai people are experts in cultivating,crafting etc.
And in my opinion honest and to be trusted!!!
greetings, Michael/the Netherlands

Thanks Michael- It is helpful to know specific exporters because there are some stories going around. One of the advantages of these forums is to share good sources. Bill
