The ULTIMATE Date Palm Growing Guide

[@edibletropicaltrees]

I've never really grown date palms before, but a year ago I when to my cousin Ron's house and he has over 50 varieties of fruiting size date palms grow in ground at his house. So a year ago I started growing one. Your video was very informative, thank.

[@wertyfor]

Sprouted like 100 seedlings 2 years later only 4 survived in my arid dry part of south Texas. There 1 1/2 ft tall and survived 26 degree freezes like nothing. My advice; dont use the fluorinated/chlorinated city water to water them.

I love date fruits in making cookies. I can remember my Mom having them when I was younger. I believe these grow pretty well along NC's coastal areas. They remind me a bit of oleander, which also grow there.

Thank you for the palm info. regards from Slovenia

TIME STARTS IN THE GROUND! best advice ever so far! I had 🛎️ ding moment! THANK YOU!

[@jordanphillips1541]

Thanks for the video. I’m currently growing 150 date palms in my condo in Los Angeles from seed under growing lights. They are amazing trees. My favorite. Date, Wild & Canary

[@qctropicals]

it would be nice to plant all of them just to see what you get.

[@Anna-Leigh77]

Do they produce fruit?

I have seen a beautiful thick palm tree in mexico city, I’ve never seen one like it before, i googled it, it turned out to be a canary, I’m looking to buy one but online they sell seeds only.

[@richstevenson1]

Let us know how it goes! I've started a date plant myself. I bought a bag of dates and one had a seed in it so as a challenge to myself, I started growing it. It's been about a year and a half and it's pretty tall. It's an indoor plant. I just bought a 40 quart planter. I love it! The only thing I didn't know was about the pollination. What a bummer!

[@californiahauler6561]

I just got in to planting date palms... I actually travel rivers from top to bottom.. I plant stuff everywhere...at the end of the growing season.i buy all seeds not matter what kind an plant them ok n my journey down river... So here's my question ❓❓❓ is there a way to tell male an female date seeds apart. Because one ain't no good with out the other... ???? Thanks River Jo

[@houses4rent8240]

FANTASTIC INFORMATIVE VIDEO. THANK YOU!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@dinkohrvat344]

Near Fremantle Western Australia there is a date grove planted by the first English Settlers They are very hardy and can live a very long time . The only issue is that they fall in high wind during storms as they get so tall .

[@joekunin]

I get pretty fresh dates here in SoCal, and often toss the seeds into my land. I see sprouts pretty regularly, sometimes in non-ideal locations. When is the best time to pull these up for replanting? I've had some luck pulling them pretty early, though the root is pretty delicate (but long). Great video!

[@atlasofarcadia3906]

I think the big multi trunk tree was kinda beautiful

You are such a good teacher,👏just subscribed

Thanks so much for this awesome video.please tell me how to differentiate male female seedlings. I am connecting from Kenya. I would like to start a 5 acre plantation

[@qctropicals]

you can't until they flower

[@billomamo]

@@qctropicals many thanks

[@robertfulmer8475]

Will they grow good in a heated greenhouse??

[@Rajgitaa]

I'm in Phoenix AZ, and my two pigmy palms were on a drip system, which now has leaks. Can I drop a hose and do a slow trickle? Or I was thinking of using a flat soaker hose, letting it run for a couple of hours, at least until I can get someone to repair my drip system. Thanks for your help.

[@qctropicals]

yes

[@TheCastleHouseFAMILY]

Can you keep a fruiting palm, that you transplanted, in the container and KEEP it fruiting? Or will it eventually stop fruiting?

[@MetalMan1023]

Sent you an email regarding maybe some fungus or sunburn on my newly planted medjool… didn’t think there could burn , if that’s what it is. Thanks in advance, big fan!

[@qctropicals]

ill check it out

[@guest491]

Excellent video

[@janardhannaik9250]

I reside in Southern India. Sandy coastal area on the edge of the Indian Ocean. Planning to put some medjool israeli date palm seeds here which my aunty brought from marks and Spencer UK. In my area its tropical climate with one of the heaviest rainfalls in the world since I have steep evergreen forest Western Ghats on my eastern side. Rainfall is around 5000 to 7500 mm every year. In case the seeds give life to a palm will the palm die of extreme water shock in monsoons in case I plant it in the sand? I have seen some date palms growing in my town in one or two houses but I don't know which variety they are.

[@joshuab8255]

Great video! Is this variety you show here in the video a Senegal Date Palm/phoenix reclinata?

[@qctropicals]

medjool

[@msladymac1820]

I’m in ny. I have my date palm growing slowly in a pot. I want to plant it in the ground. I hv many areas with full sun. I’m really concerned how to take care of it in the winter months. would mulch keep the soil from freezing the roots? Or should I build a planter box?

[@qctropicals]

it depends on where you live

[@andreaangelgonzales9054]

How can I differentiate male and female date palm tree?

[@lorenbush8876]

Thanks Alan.

[@SJ-xg3rv]

Thanks for your great video. It was very timely too, as I just bought 3 date palms yesterday. When is the best time of year/season to plant them into the ground? I'm in Australia, in an area with very hot dry summers and cool (some frosts) wet winters. Thanks!

[@qctropicals]

anytime really. Just shade them first summer if a fresh dug up pup.

[@SJ-xg3rv]

Great, thanks so much for taking the time to respond. Love your channel.

How do you know if the plant is a male or female when not in blooming season?

[@qctropicals]

you can't

[@AgnesMmathatakiberu]

Good day please advise me on these two trees which have some seeds yellowish in colour and bees eat them what are they?

[@TOSMAN1000]

Those seeds are the male pollen. The bees are taking the pollen and spreading it around.

[@Anythingforfreedom]

What are your thoughts about splitting the cost on medjool tissue culture? I've heard buying the cloned plants is the cheapest way to go, but the smallest order size I can seem to find is 500 plants. Unfortunately I only need 250. Do you want to buy the other 250?

Can a Phoenix canariensis pollinate a Phoenix dactylifera?

[@qctropicals]

male pollinates female

[@ryanacar3773]

Yes. “Phoenixes are the s1uts of the palm world”-someone on palmtalk forum. But the fruit will exactly same of the variety of the female plant. However planting the seeds would result in a hybrid. But they bloom in different times tho you may have to store the pollen

[@ryanacar3773]

Also the edible date (phoenix dactylifera) is a hybrid of many species including phoenix theopastri

[@Trident_Euclid]

What verity is your date palm?

[@qctropicals]

medjool

[@Trident_Euclid]

I've never tasted or seen a Madjol tree in my country. We mostly grow Khalas and Fard varieties.

[@chosen2030]

​@@qctropicals do you sell medjool pups? If yes, when are they usually available and price?

There's a secret to make it start fruiting fast by Gods grace... I've seen one thats still in its bag before transplant and its already fruiting...
