Wait till it forms offsets at the base. They don't come true from seeds.
If there are any commercial date farms in the area, maybe they offer tours
or other information. (If you think you'd like to see southern California
anyway, it may be worthwhile to also go to the Date Festival in Indio,
California - a county fair, really, but the main crop there is dates and
the fair is pretty informative.)
