Extra Germinated Seeds (Phoenix dactylifera 'Ajwa')

I have a ton of extra germinated Phoenix dactylifera 'Ajwa' seeds to give away.  Darn near 100% germination showing through the baggie.  These were personally sourced from dates that I ate.  If anyone is not familiar with the "Ajwa" varietal, they are from Saudi Arabia (Medina I believe), and are smaller and much darker than the typical 'Medjool' or 'Delget Noor' varietals you usually see in stores.  They are also addictively delicious.  I got these from a local Middle Eastern food store here in San Antonio.  I have attached a picture comparing the 'Ajwa' seeds with seeds from other varietals.  I understand that since Phoenix dactylifera are heterozygous, the offspring plants can be either male or female,  and may present with varying traits from the parent (i.e., not true to form).  However, if it is a waste of time, then why is everyone tripping over a male and female pair of the 2,000 year old germinated "Judean Date Palms" flowering and maybe producing dates soon.  By the aforementioned logic, those Phoenix dactylifera would just produce the generic 'Honey' variety, albeit a 2,000 year old version of the 'Honey' variety.  Anyway, enough bloviating; I think they are cool.  I am willing to ship for free to the lower 48; just agree to give them a good home.  PM me if interested (first come, first serve).

Unified Theory of Palm Seed Germination

(Where: bh = bottom heat, fs = fresh seed, L = love, m = magic, p = patience, and t = time)

Do you still have these? I'll take them off of your hands of you do.

I have some un-germinated seeds if you want some.  They are really easy to germinate.
