_Keith 757 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 20 each free to first 4 takers. Already committed 20 or so to member in Croatia. So, if you research Black Sphinx, it is either a mutant or a sport, so who knows what you'll get from the seed, if anything. My poor seed skills are known the planet over. Anyway, first 4 to speak up on this thread will get them for free. If you are not satisfied, I will refund your money. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt N- Dallas 245 Report post Posted February 27, 2016 In December I visited the black sphinx date grove in Phoenix. The grove is a hip residential area now. No date fruit or pollinated seeds to be found, only un-pollinated fruit. I did find the dates for sale at Whole Foods nearby! I bought a box ($8.99 for 12 oz), enjoyed the fruit, then planted the seed. The trees are attractive with a neat story behind them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Silent Seed 163 Report post Posted May 26, 2016 I never did receive any back then - My guess is his family issues has put his plant playing aside. Hope all is OK, bud. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
