Folks,
Flight has been booked. It's 3/1/22 Tuesday. This time it is a direct flight, and the trees will be here on same day 3/1.
The trees will be in USDA for inspection for 1-2 days. If things go smooth, 3/4/22(likely) or 3/3/22 is the targeting date for us to get the trees. If trees cannot be released on 3/4(Friday), then we have to wait till Monday 3/7/22.
Bill,
I will be planning to drive up to Napa 3/2 so I get rest before the trip back. If I have to stay a couple days I'll just be a thorn in my family's side for a couple more days but I will be rested
I would be amazed if the inspection would be done by 3/3 late afternoon. If possible can I get an address pm'd to me so I can plan my route. Also, I believe I am hauling for the San Diego group or couple pick ups on the way back? I just like to know my plans.
K Rime/ Man4Fruit or any others that planned to meet please let me know your thoughts so I know how many boxes or what I am picking up at Bills. I like plans.
*Also Side note I think I might have a couple extra fig trees available for this trip if anyone if interested.
I will be hauling a few extras up towards Napa as usual.
That is the reason I drive up. I have fig community friends up there that purchase a few of my extras. At the top of my head I think I have Bass Favorite Fig but I will have to look at the rest. They would be in 1 gallons.
Amy, when do you come to the bay area? If you have a couple days resting here already in the bay area before the trees are released, I am comfortable with your picking all the trees for SoCal folks.
It will be 8 boxes at size 33"L x 14”W x 14"H .
Total about 260 trees, one box for each of 7 female varieties, and one for male trees. Each box will be about 30 lb or less.
Socal folks, please finalize who is/are coming to pick trees. Amy only, or both Amy and Kevin. I am ok with both options.
Please add some contributions to their gas spending and timing.
There are about 26 orders in Socal.
