Phoenix roebelenii seeds

[dalmatiansoap]

Might seem odd, but I'm really looking for Pigmy date fresh seeds. Small quantity, up to 3-4 dozens.

I think I might cover your needs... If only you could have told me earlier... Or maybe you you prefer a bunch of juveniles (they all have pinnate fronds), which sprouted naturally below mother plant and I am about to remove?

They fought well nevertheless...

Plants can be sent only bare root and I have no idea how amenable to transplant is P roebelenii

[dalmatiansoap]

Wow! These are big! Anybody with transplanting experience?

What are asking for these young plants if you do sell them? I would be very interested. Thanks Mark

I am afraid I can not serve you. Those juveniles should be packed in a fairly large parcel without a phytosanitary certificate. Such parcel can not be smuggled in without drawing the attention of the competent authorities. Postage cost and consfication risk is to big.

Hey Ante, have you made up your mind? Btw have you not received yet an envelope from Greece? Maybe your address has been changed?

Hey Ante, they are about to travel tomorrow to Makarska. As the ancient Athenians said once, it is more probable that the sun starts turning other way around, than you get an answer to your question in this forum. Anyway you are going to need all your skill and acquired knowledge in the various fora to keep alive some of those plants at least. But it is worth a try,  because they are field grown in a similar to yours climate. Those grown in the greenhouse are good for indoors but outdoors they are more doomed than in the garden of Mr DD, trust me!

Now, that's a nice scene. They will sure be pampered.

8 days after the transplant and leaves have not withered yet. Very encouraging.

[dalmatiansoap]

They are trimmed between 1/3 and 1/2 of leaf mass and placed in full shade.

And almost forgotten and what all this was about, I now also have a load of seeds thanks to my Greek friend.

Thank You one more time
