All my orders were cancelled. Have any of you succeeded?

The order I made on September 13, 2020 was not canceled, I just checked and each item I requested is marked as 'Reviewing'. Did they e-mail you telling you that it was canceled? Is what you ordered still showing as available?

Yes, they emailed me and in the web each item was marked as “cancelled” too.

Was it pomegranate cuttings from Davis? By what I have read online, they seem to turn a lot of people's orders down.

same here. They sent a letter stating they are giving them out to researchers only not home gardeners.

I placed an order for pom cuttings way back in February and shortly after received a letter cancelling it.
