Phoenix silvestris, The Silver Date Palm and it’s Delicious Fruit

[@mikeyredfl3976]

They really stand out when the trunks are diamond cut and stained here in SW FL and they go for ~$450/ ft

[@DanielHJeffery]

Oh I’d love to have those palm nuts for my parrots. And myself… they look delicious!

[@asmehtelias5671]

I like all your videos. Thank you.

[@ScaryHairyGary]

Thanks, as you can see, I have lots of fun making them.

Hey Gary Hello from Sabvannah Georgia and Thanks for your videos and educating me on these amazing good looking Sylvester is Palms. Just one question, the fruit of my Sylvester is palm trees are yellow orange instead, do you know if these are still good to germinate? Please Advise and Thanks in Advance

[@ramagirirammurthy]

Wow awesome fruits So delicious 👍

[@Syed5y]

Great videos keep up the good work

[@joshual574]

So I’m in central Florida near Daytona beach and I’m trying to harvest as many of these seeds as possible. I see them all over town right now showing up new and they’re green. They should turn yellow orange as they mature and then they go to a purple black color? When should I harvest them for planting?

[@TheJames2929]

Beautiful palms awesome video you made me laugh in your funny cat. I love how much of the of the fruit you were eating 😂😂

[@ScaryHairyGary]

That fruit was delicious. Not a lot of flesh but tasty. More chocolaty than a typical date. Gonna eat some more right now.

[@TheJames2929]

Gary Gragg's True Plant Stories yeah lol. they look pretty good I’ve never tried them

[@vrmlib]

I’m getting Michael Scott vibes here

[@ramagirirammurthy]

Which place this date palm farm

[@stexrem]

nice video. How far apart are these planted?

[@flattenthecurve8623]

How old are those trees

[@ScaryHairyGary]

Hard to say. 15-30 I would guess. Depends on conditions.

[@mateayoung4227]

You are the only person I know, other than me, which likes eating palm fruit.

[@abueloofficialmusic7758]

Do you have pups available of the tasty ones?

[@ScaryHairyGary]

They do not pup.

[@adityagauba630]

When my sylvaster palms were planted, thier leaf bases in the trunks were bright orange... and now they are light brown and whitish...😤 and not only in my yard, in many other areas where they were planted near roundabouts, the same thing happens...

[@centralcaliforniatropicalg4686]

My Phoenix is silver. it could be that its still small. Do they get greener with age?

[@ScaryHairyGary]

they are off green a bit but greener than this grove that was pretty chlorotic

[@bigbrick1909]

Great video do you think the Sylvester palm would survive in the Atlanta area

[@ScaryHairyGary]

It is very hardy, maybe to 15 degrees. I have no idea what the Atlanta extremes are but if you had a C shaped brick building with 2 stories with the opening of the C facing South then you can pick up about 5-7 degrees of protection.

[@bigbrick1909]

@@ScaryHairyGary thanks for replying. The coldest I've seen since iv moved to Atlanta is 20° here and there. I may try my luck with one. I have windmills and pindos just need a new look

[@tshireseoromeng]

If we were to buy a smaller tree from you, would you ship it to Botswana, Africa?

[@bigbrick1909]

Great job could this Sylvester palm survive in the Atlanta area

[@ScaryHairyGary]

I’m sure it could survive there. It’s one of the hardest of the Date Palms. This winter might have been rough on it though

[@bigbrick1909]

@@ScaryHairyGary hey, I did plant a sylvester her in Atlanta zone 8a. Got a few outer leaf burn due to cold temperatures down to 18 here and there but it made it. December and January are our coldest months. Feb is cold but not quite as January. Thanks for insight

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

A nice cool, cloudy day to browse a desert nursery.

[@kodiakcitycab891]

Can I make some order and how much do you sell per pound and do you shipping it to kodiak Island, Alaska 99615?
