FREE: 2+ Medjool Date Seeds

The listing, 2+ Medjool Date Seeds has ended.

Home grown viable seeds. Like most palm trees Medjools are male, or, female. Only the female produces fruit.

Growing Instructions
1. Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours.
2. Fill several pots with a mix of half milled peat moss or potting soil and half sand, perlite or vermiculite. Alternatively, use prepared prepared Cactus/Palm tree blend. Prepare one pot for each seed.
3. Sow the seeds on the soil.
4. Cover the seeds with a layer of soil that is ½ inch thick.
5. Put the pots in a warm, sunny area and water them.
6. The seeds sprout in about 2 months.
7. When the seedlings have 2 or 3 leaves, they can be transplanted outdoors.

Trees start producing fruit when the trunk is ~24" tall, in their 4th, or, 5th year. Officially, these do best in Zone 8a-11, however I have 2 in my South facing Zone 7 back yard, and, they've been fine for several years. They've even survived Blizzards between relative warm spells.

This listing starts at 2 seeds. The higher the bidding goes, the more seeds you'll get. If GIN is used, I'll send at least 20 seeds.
