Clare,
I've only had one cutting out of 70 from Evelyn that had these borers in it.I dont personally blame her for it.From what I understand, she has collected hundreds of cuttings from many different plants and from different properties.I would imagine from what I've read about the borer problem in Hawaii,that sooner or later your gonna find some.I'm also very happy with the diversity of cuttings that shes gotten for me, and the price has been reasonable as well.I dont know how other customers of hers have fared though,I can only speak for myself.Maybe you could D-Mail me the link from MPG as I couldnt find it.I'll post another pic of the cutting to show how small the holes are that the borers enter with.The holes only stood out when the inside was rotten already.

Malestrom, we have a terrible problem with pine borers down here as well,
they're wrecking the native pine forests...

Heres the pic, its the small hole in between my fingers...
