Phoenix dactylifera 'Medjool' The most beautiful of Palms ! And the best eating, most valuable sweet fruit ! Ideal for survivalists.
“Medjool” is a sub variety of Dactylifera in the genus Phoenix. The Medjool sub variety is a native to the Atlantic coast of Morocco. This particular sub variety is a proven performer that is far superior to most other varieties of Dactylifera when utilized under sub tropical or tropical conditions. The venerable Medjool Date is produced in California and Arizona for its excellent fruit and was introduced for use in landscaping in 1990. The original applications were in Southern Florida but its use soon spread and this sub variety has since proven itself to be absolutely reliable for ornamental applications in California, Arizona, Nevada and from Texas across to Florida. Hundreds & hundreds of specimen Medjool’s have also been exported during the past 20 years and are thriving today all over the Caribbean and in places like Venezuela and Panama. Generally, once established this species is totally reliable everywhere that winter temperatures do not fall below 15 degrees and then stay down there for 6 hours or longer.

Culture
By and large, Medjool dates will thrive anywhere that winter temperatures don’t reach and stay below 15 degrees and even where the entire canopy does burn back during an extreme freeze event, established palms will fully recover with minimal care 95% of the time.

USDA Zones 9 - 11. In Zone 8, palm enthusiasts grow Medjool’s in sheltered locations but occasional freeze damage to foliage can be expected up in Zone 8.Anywhere below zone 8 is safe and in our experience, this species will come through the winter with little or no frond damage whatsoever.
