Wash the stripped seeds under cool running water to remove all fruit particles. · Soak the SILVER date seeds in a bowl or bucket of cool, clean water for at least 48 hours. Change the water for fresh each day and keep the seeds submerged. Discard any seeds that float to the surface as they are not viable. · Fill a nursery pot that is at least 6 inches deep with a mixture of fresh sterile potting mix and peat moss. You want the planting medium to hold some water, as the seeds need to be always kept moist. · Bury the seed in the soil at a depth equal to its diameter. Hence, a 3/4-inch diameter seed would be buried 3/4 inch down in the soil. Press the soil down gently over and around the seed to ensure good seed to soil contact. · Water the nursery pot until the soil is soaked with water and the excess water drains from the weeping holes at the bottom of the pot. Water the seed pot frequently enough to always keep it moist, never allowing even the surface of the soil to dry out. The seed will not germinate in dry soil. Maintain these wet conditions until the seed germinates. · Place the seed pot in a sunny or partly shady location outdoors. If you will struggle to check the soil moisture daily or every other day, shade may be a better option for you. · Allow about 6 to 8 weeks or more for the date seed to germinate and develop one or more green shoots. Allow up 5 years for your date palm to reach maturity. If it is a female tree, it will begin to bear date fruit of its own.
