Espostoa Cuttings Available in greater Los Angeles area.

Hi All,
I know this literally a worldwide forum but I figured I'd try this anyway. We have/had a fairly large Espostoa (probably lanata) at roughly 8 feet high which was mostly knocked down by careless tree trimmers doing necessary cutting on eucalyptus. There were plans to move or donate the main plant eventually anyway, so this may not be a big deal from our side but it means there are a number of cuttings ranging from about 2 feet to about 6 feet. I dropped them off with a local friend but he's stuck at hospital with family medical problems, so he's not really interested in a project of this size at the moment. Do we have any interested parties in the LA/OC/IE who would like a cutting? They're a little rough but it was a very mature plant (over 50 years old) and growing well, they should be a good starting place for someone who's interested. I'm assuming shipping is not a great idea and will likely be a PITA, so I figured I'd stay local but they're free to a good home or homes.
Feel free to contact me here or at sltaway(-at-)yahoo.com
