Default Re: Can Anyone ID These Palm Seedlings?

Don't know what happened with the seed mix-up, but another friend said the following about your date fruits:

In the photo of the 4 dates alone, the one in the upper left is probably Barhi, the rest would just be guesses.

The others might include Halawi, Amir Hajj, Kabkab, Khastawi, Khadrawy, or unknown cultivars. We have all of these in the US except Kabkab. None look like Medjool at all. The Iraqis also consider Medjool to be an inferior date so they would probably not be putting it in a gift box.
