Thanks, that's what I thought. I'm drying the seeds now and plan to plant

them
in the spring, sometime in early March.

Looks like a Canary Island date palm to me. Mine has grown about 6 inches

a
year for about 7 years in Northern Calif. They can grow faster in fertile
soil and with lot's of food. They will really take off after 10 years.
Look up on google: Phoenix Canariensis

This was taken in early November, in Houston, TX. The tree is about

30ish
feet
tall and had many of the small dates on it. The photos were beautiful

in
Paint
Shop Pro, but Explorer killed them.

I think it's a Canary Island date palm. I did collect seeds as the

photo's
indicate. Are they easy to germinate and how fast does this tree grow?

Thanks, V
