Re: Fastest way to get a date palm to grow from a seed?
I soak mine in water for three days, fresh water daily
Then put them in a damp paper towel in a ziplock bag. Somewhere warm , with no light. Check every week for roots ...as you find some growing, transplant to a pot

Summit at 7400'. Beautiful. 30c and sunny in Kingston town at sea level, about 15c and cloudy at the summit. It came down in torrents on our hike back down through the rainforest. That rain ended once we came out of the clouds at about 4000 feet. About an hour drive from Kingston to Hagley Gap (elev...

Nope. Only a needle palm will survive in 7a with no protection... its the wind damage and moisture that kills all the others. I suggest south-facing wall with heavy mulch and shelter from ALL winter moisture and wind... then you may get in to some trachys, chamaerops, and maybe a pindo or a sabal. A...
