 For the folks who plan to pick up the trees in the bay area, I will announce the address and date, time when the trees are released from USDA inspection. 

 For the folks who requested shipping, I plan to ship all the packages early in the morning with USPS priority mail service following the date when the trees are released.

Al, could I get an email address for you so I can alert you to the game plan going forward?  You can send it to crfgwla at gmail.com. A cell number would also be helpful, for last minute changes.

At this point, I am waiting to hear from Bill as to whether the trees will be bunched by buyer or variety.   If by variety, it is going to be really hard to distribute the trees out of 2 boxes of 90 or so while standing on a street corner in downtown LA, since my priority is keeping the roots intact and moist for everyone.

Where will you be coming from?   If there are enough of you coming from the east side (SGV, Pasadena, etc) it might be possible for Bill to divide the trees into an East side and a West side box and only one of you would have to venture into the wilds of DTLA.  Does that make sense?

Ronni

HI AI, agree with Ronne. I can prepare your trees in a separate bag within the box.

Anybody likes to be the POC of LA east? I can sort out the trees for the folks living in LA east if you have a request.
All the remaining will go to Ronni's place.

Thanks, bill

I'd prefer to pick up from Spring St. if possible. I'm in West Covina and can hold some trees to save someone a trip to Santa Monica.

Bill, I made a slight change to my order on the spreadsheet. I also added a tree and sent you $50 on paypal.


Thanks again Bill, Ronni and Jozeph for your time and effort!

This is looking much more manageable and it seems as if  East and West will be evenly divided..  So at this point, the folks I have in the West Box are:

Okvid
Pasca
Kaz
NullZero
Pavel
me
Nate

I have heard from some of you but would Okvid, Pasca, Pavel and Nate please either PM me contact info or write to me crfgwla at gmail.com so we can coordinate and I can alert you when the trees are actually in Santa Monica.  And of course, if you opt for the East Box, please let  Shaun and Bill know.

Okay, sounds good. Most everyone has contacted me already. If not, PM for my address. I'm working from home, so my hours are pretty flexible for pickup. Hopefully everyone can pickup same day.

Also, I plan on keeping the bareroot trees in a bucket of collected rainwater with a bag over them and a rope tied around the bucket to seal them in. I'll put them in my greenhouse for extra protection. Is this okay with everyone or is there a better way to store these trees?

EDIT: Since most people are picking up same day, maybe it's best to leave the trees in their original bags until they're picked up. If you do want me to keep the roots in a bucket of rain water, or any other request, feel free to let me know. Also, I'm near a Home Depot if you would prefer to pick up in a public place.


Shaun
