If you have a sweet tooth you will absolutely love today’s post. Unlike when we made homemade hot fudge recipe or homemade pancake syrup recipe this is actually 100% all natural ‘candy’. What am I on about? Well let us look at how to grow a medjool date palm from seed, so you can enjoy dates from your own garden.
The best part is, if you have access to these date you can actually grow the tree from the seeds which most of already through away anyway. Also if you have grown other trees from seeds before, then you are already familiar with the rather simple process. Anyway, let’s get to it shall we?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- medjool date seeds
- paper towel
- ziploc bag
- water
- small dish
- potting soil
- small plastic pots
- plastic wrap
So after you enjoy your dates, collect the seeds and place them in a small bowl with some water covering them. You want them to stay in there, for at least a week. The water should be changed daily otherwise, nasty mold will start growing in there. After about a week, remove the seeds and rinse, and then place them on a wet paper towel which you will fold over the seeds.
Take your folded paper towel and place it in the ziploc bag, and store it away in a nice warm location. Keep an eye on the paper towel, and watch for mold. If you do see some, simply change the paper towel. After a few weeks, roots will start appearing. Remove the seeds from the paper towel and plant in a small container which should be well watered and covered in plastic until you start to see some leaves. Allow the tree to grow, before transplanting to your backyard garden.
