real date palm (phoemix dacteyflera)(spelling?) anyone got a small pup or seeds to trade ? id really apreciate your reply

Arent dates availiable at your local grocery store? If you buy dates from Israel or Tunisia,their seeds will give you a true Phoenix dactylifera and not a hybrid as they are produced in huge P. dactylifera covered fields with no other Phoenix species arround to hybridize with

If there arent availiable for you,i could send you some seeds next time i buy dates

[gyuseppe]

yes,my dactylifera, I have made from seeds from dates purchased in supermarkets, tunisia origin.

in the South-italy dactylifera make seeds, but they are not fertile .

[Kostas]

They fruit and seed here too and very profussely,but there are so many P. canariensis here that i wouldnt trust their purity at all.....

I have random date palms coming up in several places all over my yard. They are the "Sprouts" cultivar.

The two that sprouted last summer both survived around 20 degree temps last winter with no burn whatsover. My trachies that were in the shade house covered in mulch barely survived and are still struggling.

so can u spare some of the seedlings? i dont care if its a hybrid as long as i get a real date palm from egypt
