Hello John,

I'll also copy the group my reply, but an off line would have been better.  

$100 is far far too much. If you are a multi millionaire I'll take it. :-) Because I cut many hundred in the trip the cost will be spread over many recipients. The more or less standard is $1.25 per stick plus postage and I'll accept less. Commercial quantities I do ask the $1.25. The personal goal is helping others with persimmon, not deriving an income. We do want the get this material out and tested in other areas.
