Auction is for one Date Palm (Phoenix Dactylifera).

Each plant is 10 months old.

They have been germinated & grown from Medjool date pits, from the box as per the pictures. These palms come from sunny Jordan River valley, and are Moroccan in origin.

Phoenix Dactylifera are the true date palm. They look quite exotic; growing a lovely crown up of feather-like fronds. Eventually growing as tall as 12m or more, they are known to be evergreen, hardy/tough, & low maintenance. They are said to tolerate negative temperates to -5 cel; protection from frost will help stop damage. They like well draining soils & full sun. They are wind tolerant, drought tolerant & will withstand coastal conditions.

Would look great in a coastal or Mediterranean style garden.

Please be aware that for medjool dates to grow on a date palm, a male & female tree is required (seen when it blooms). Also, given the colder climate here in NZ, flowering may not occur.
