We tried several ways to plant and grow dates fruit but always ended up disappointed.
In NJ??
Maybe he tried Pygmy date palm
Do you guys in Northern Florida grow them ?
I did not know this , but walking around homestead Florida I saw What I looked up below
Phoenix reclinata (Senegal date palm ) and it was pretty flavorless
but I spat out because I didn;t know what it was
Hawthorn is pretty bland (mexican) tejocote )
if you make it in boiling pot with a some sugar brings out the flavor to me better then apple juice.
(like apple with Vanilia added)
I hope someone could try boiling some in water and tell me if it tastes good after adding sugar
(I went in 1 /18 2020 I think do those ripen then
what does it matter to me so I am not going to look into it, but
I looked up Phoenix genus for the tropics and saw this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_reclinataPhoenix reclinata (reclinata - Latin, reclining),
the wild date palm or Senegal date palm, is a species of flowering plant in the palm family native to tropical Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Madagascar and the Comoro Islands.
Any hybrids between the edible, and this you know of? (I looked at palmpedia didn;t see any)
