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.

[@californiahauler6561]

You should do a video on nopales

[@qctropicals]

i have one about propagating them :)

[@lorenbush8876]

Thanks Alan.

[@kso808]

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.

[@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.

[@joekunin]

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

[@joshuab8255]

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

[@qctropicals]

medjool

[@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.

[@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?

[@Rajgitaa]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@doctorhadland6510]

Can a Phoenix canariensis pollinate a Phoenix dactylifera?

[@qctropicals]

male pollinates female

[@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

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

[@qctropicals]

[@robertoayala2623]

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

[@qctropicals]

you can't

[@qctropicals]

medjool
