"It is a long road to our being able to eat the Judean date once again"

Take cuttings, stick 'em in Root Tone and stuff the cuttings into perlite to root, then transplant 'em into dirt. She'll have more of the same tree. I hope he's not an envirowacko. I'm turely interested in seeing the Judaen date harvested once again.

First I have to say. REALLY REALLY COOL STUFF!!

I'm afraid it's not that easy with date palms, you pretty much have to wait for the tree to start sending up suckers (at best a few per year and none for the first few years) or try tissue culture. I know there were some projects were working on tissue propagation of dates in California a few years back but I have no idea how it turned out.

What is the difference between this palm and those grown in the area today?

(other than being from California)
