Where to buy a 2-4ft CT Dactylifera

[SRJbb99]

I’ve been searching the better part of 6 months and can’t find them anywhere.  I know they aren’t truly cold hardy but a local meteorologist in the Dallas area has one and  I wanted to give one a shot.  Any ideas?

I would even take 4-6ft overall with no trunk if I could find them.

Jungle music palms in CA.  He lists Phoenix Dactylifera 3-5 gallon $75 and fifteen gallon $385 on his site.  He can ship a 15 gallon usually in a 5-6' box.  Call him for availability though.  It's pretty expensive shipping because he ships the whole pot.  He will email you a pic of the plant before you buy.

I suggest look for a female date palm.

Down the road you can purchase male date palm flowers to pollinate the female.

I read somewhere that suckers on a female will always be  99.9% female.

If you want to drive to Houston they’re pretty easy to find. They’re about $250 per trunk fooot.

If you decide to take a road trip, let me know. I can recommend some places that have them.
