Phoenix Robelenii Seeds

My phoenix Robelenii is setting mini dates. Let me know if you want some. I will probably put about 6 seeds per packet and will have enough for 10 packets??? SASE would be fine or trade.

Thanks, Ana

Sounds interesting - but would it grow here?

It is a cool looking plant. Would it be happy in a container? Is it easy to wake up the seeds?

According to this they stay outside only to zone 9 and above. But I have seen them in pots on patios further up north.

As for seed propagation, it says you need to germinate in vitro in gelatin, agar or other medium. I have no idea what that means.... But I did find this that says that it is really easy to do - http://www.rarepalmseeds.com/pix/PhoRoe.shtml

Thanks for the information, Ana. I don't have room in my sunroom during the winter so I will have to pass...are the dates edible?

Hi Ana
I would love to have any you would care to share.

Ana,
Sounds too interesting to pass up. Don't have much to trade now, but could surely get SASBE out right away.
