Phoenix dactylifera kao svaka pustinjska palma trpi, u slicnim uslovima vise od Kanarke, po svim rasadnicima vodi se kao otpornija, za cak neki kultivari 8a zonu ali u praksi se nije tako pokazalo, ali s obzirom na obilje sorti evo, uputa Step 1
Determine first if the Medjool date palm is hardy in your region. Growing well in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 8 through 12, it tolerates light frosts and mild subfreezing temperatures in climates that do not have heavy, wet soils during the chill of winter.
Step 2
Find a location in the landscape that will be exposed to as much full sun as possible each day. Any spot receiving more than 6 to 8 hours of direct sunshine is ideal.
Step 3
Investigate the soil in the location selected for the date palm. Make sure it drains well after rainfall and irrigation events. Avoid soils that are soggy or constantly moist, as the palm roots will rot readily if wetness lingers around them. Date palms have remarkable tolerance to dry soils as well as those near the ocean and have an alkaline pH.
Step 4
Acquire a Medjool data palm from a garden center or specialty palm or fruit nursery in your area. Consider your options in plant size. Container-grown palms are smaller and easier to move and plant, whereas larger palms with significantly sized trunks are heavy and require heavy machinery, labor and time to dig, transport and plant.
Step 5
Tie a loose knot of an elastic rope or nylon strapping to the fronds of the palm. Wrap the rope around the canopy of leaves and tighten it, causing the fronds to bend upwards into a tidy upright bundle. Gently but securely tie-off the strapping so that the fronds remain upright during the planting process.

...-ispod-15, New M. evo sta kaze We had the coldest night since 1962 (-16F), with unfortunate results. Half the towns Mexican Palms were killed, amazingly every single California Palm I've seen survived. I lost 20 of my 28 Palms. One of 2 Medjools made it, as did 5 of 6 Windmills (5 gallon sized!)and this one little California Palm made it. I had every one of my Palms wrapped in blankets.
