Dongkui has the highest sugar content, but Wandao has very low acidity and seems to be the sweetest. I remember reading somewhere that Wandao is the same as Late Growing. Is this true?

Hi Bill

My trees don't look alive. None of them has a green graft. it looks like they were scratched to check if the grafts were still alive before they were shipped. I wish you sent me at least one alive tree...

 Do you think I had time to scratch the trees, pick up the dead ones and send them to you? Even if I had time, why I needed to do that to you?

 On 1/19 night, first I was busy in charging local pick up for the bay area, elouicious(Daniel) was also helping the packaging,  then after 10:30 pm, I started to assort the trees for LA and San Diego folks in 5 packages, some people wanted me pack in separate bags, this took extra time in preparation. Around 1 AM, I started to work on the packages for next day's shipment till 4:30 am. I slept less than two hours, and at 7:00 am, packed up two more boxes, then rushed to the bus stop for the package delivery in San Jose. After dropping the 5 boxed in the bus heading down to LA, I moved to a nearby post office for the first round of shipment for FL and Hawaii folks. Then I rushed back to home for other people's local pick up.

 I knew potentially lots of complaints may come up again including the pests issue. That's why before Pouya and I left the USDA office, I double checked with USDA person who was in charge of releasing our trees, she said no pests were found in the inspection.

 I truly feel sorry about the trees you received, if there is a next round, I will pick the best trees for you.
 

The trees were claimed by a buyer.
 They are not available anymore.

 Thanks, bill

order # 92 by Budutukco hasn’t been picked up yet.
Please stop by for local pickup in the Bay Area.

Thanks, bill

Folks,
  All the packages were shipped out today.
I will send the copy of USPS receipt to each individual for tracking.

Thank you,
 Bill

Awesome!

 Thank you, folks.

Sorry for the late response. I had busy schedule in the morning. First I loaded 5 boxes ( four for LA, one for San Diego)
LA boxes,  2 boxes are for Steve Murray, 1 for LA East, and the rest one is for Santa Monica Area.


The bus stop in LA china around 2:00 pm in the afternoon.

This time trees are very clean, no nematodes and other pests were found by USDA.
I am heading back to home and will package the trees for folks.

Thanks, bill

I am in USDA with Pouya now. They are doing the inspection.
