[@javi2254]

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

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@californiahauler6561]

You should do a video on nopales

[@qctropicals]

i have one about propagating them :)

i have a few growing here in the UK in containers

[@qctropicals]

crazy all the way in the UK

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!

[@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

[@billomamo]

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

[@lorenbush8876]

Thanks Alan.

[@hunam3876]

My 2 years old seedlings died off to the ground this winter. Hope they are still alive as when I was up-potting them, they had massive tap roots.

[@qctropicals]

where do you live?

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@joshuab8255]

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

[@qctropicals]

medjool

[@geostorm9351]

Do you have a video how to care for pigmy date palms in pots?

[@qctropicals]

treat it like a weed

[@geostorm9351]

@@qctropicals not sure what you mean? Lol

[@qctropicals]

@@geostorm9351 lol they're so easy to grow. Only extreme cold will kill them

[@robertoayala2623]

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

[@qctropicals]

you can't

[@blairsayn2895]

May I ask if this applies to Foxtail palms as well? I have 2 which look stunted

[@qctropicals]

foxtail is not as cold hardy

Can a Phoenix canariensis pollinate a Phoenix dactylifera?

[@qctropicals]

male pollinates female

How can I get fruiting Barhi Date Palms in Georgia USA?

[@qctropicals]

haven't seen one for sale

[@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?
