In stock
Description
Known as the 'translucent dates' or 'Dates of light' these are cultivars grown especially in Algeria and Tunisia. They grow in large trusses, are slightly smaller than Medjool dates and have a characteristic soft touch, a translucent blonde color and a soft caramel-like taste, these three characteristics distinguishing them from all other dates.
Sowing Advice
Abrade a small portion of each seed with sand paper or on a rough brick or similar, then soak seeds for 24 hours before sowing 2cm deep in a good loamy compost. Keep in a propagator or warm place, at between 20 and 25 degrees C, and do not exclude light. Germination can be erratic, usually taking between 2 to 12 months, sometimes longer, so do not discard the seed pots. Pot on small plants frequently in a coarse loose compost to achieve huge plants very quickly.
