Perfect for gardeners seeking a unique, sustainable project, these seeds come with planting instructions and connect you to a rich cultural legacy while promising sweet, nutritious dates after months of care.

## Description

The date palm (Phoenix Dactylifera) is one of the oldest cultivated desert tree crops in the world and hs long been a stable food for native populations of Asia, and North Africa. In recent history dates have been cultivated in the dry interior deserts of California and Arizona. The Date Palm looks like robust grass growing during its first year of life. Dates need about six months to ripen. The fruit requires prolonged summer heat without rain or high humidity during the ripening period. The root system of the date palm is similar to an onion, and in spite of the fact that the date palm is a desert plant, it requires as much water a a willow. You will receive aproximately 5+ seeds in this colorful seed packet that includes information about the date palm, and planting instructions.

Review: 5 GERMINATING SEEDS!!!! - 5 SEEDS ARE GERMINATING AND IN GREAT SHAPE!!! YOU NEED TO BE PATIENCE! THEY CAN TAKE UP TO 6 MONTHS (EVEN LONGER ) TO GERMINATE...... MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT PLANT THEM TO DEEP, HALF INCH IS MORE THA ENOUGH......... IF YOU HAVE THEM IN A SMALL POT AND WITH CONTACT TO THE SUN, MAKE SURE YOU ADD WATER AT LEAST 1-2 A WEEK.......... THE LESS SOIL, THE MORE WATER YOU NEED THE MORE SUN, THE MORE WATER YOU NEED
Review: DATE PALM - My seeds arrived earlier than expected. Great! I have only planted one so far and it is about three inches tall. Exciting! I am having to experiment with soil and watering since the directions included with the seeds were not as specific as I would have liked for them to have been.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are all the seeds female**
A: The instruction brochure inside the packet explains that the sex does not matter for ornamental purposes since the appearance is similar. It says the sexes are evenly divided when grown from seeds, no further explanation except that males produce enough pollen for up to 50 females. I assume that is why the packet is not labeled with a specific sex. I only planted one then moved before it could mature. If you provide an e-mail address, I'll be happy to attach a PDF of the brochure.
