**** (yes Tog, I remember, that's what those nice symbols are for...). Came too late on this one,
Didn't notice the thread, so hopefully one of you guys will have spare pups in autumn.
Actually, Kalabrian, they are available and quite widely in the Europe, 60km from me, but I definitely wouldn't give 30€ for such a small plant. And the price is the only catch I know about.

Yep, on it.
Not only for this cultivar, any hardier species there is.

Francesco, that's what I call a spirit.
No, really, I will TC my plants in batches of 20 cultivars. I have a possibility here, I know how (not I will be TCing them, to answer the question) and there's an expert in my vicinity.
The problem is quantity and batches. The single plant goes for (at most) 2€ on material and work, but don't want to know, how many I have to order, to TC the plants. This way, when they finally grow, I will propagate Pahari Kela for Americans, and any and all I will have by november (first freezing). They should be ready until the spring/summer 2010.

Agreed, when I found out that a person I know might wanna do it for financial compensation, it came to me as much better choice, than learn TCing myself, even though it might be interesting experience.
