Growing date palms from seeds (Phoenix dactylifera) – second strategy
In the first post we went through the strategy of growing date palms from seeds by propagating them in moist temperate or warm environment.

Thus you will inevitably achieve them. Be ambitious and aim high. Dating is overrated. Build friendships instead – those that will last forever. …
