Phoenix dactylifera

  • Product number: 630050
  • Origin: Mediterranean region, subtropics
  • Latin: Phoenix dactylifera

The most well-known feature of this pinnate palm is its edible, sweet fruit: dates. The palm has been cultivated for centuries and grows in subtropical regions, for example around the Mediterranean Sea. In nature, the tree is very drought-resistant due to its very deep roots, and can therefore also be found in oases. Please note: as a potted plant, the roots are naturally confined to the pot and it has normal water requirements. The plant is not frost-hardy in our climate, but it loves to be outdoors in the summer!

Sowing method: The whole year. For faster germination, rub the seeds between sandpaper or roughen them with a file, then soak them in warm water for several hours. Sow in airy seed compost, covering the seeds with a layer of soil that is 3x the thickness of the seed. Optimal germination temperature 20-25°C. Cover the seedbed with (fleece) cloth or foil to prevent drying out.
