Re: Tissue cultured date palm

Hi.I'm Sathish. Basically from an agricultural family.I'm interested in
cultivating date palm for commercial production.

Regarding this i love valuable inputs from the group members.The
factors are soil,climate, water,variety& were to buy.

Looking forward for your valuable inputs

I doubt you will get any help from group if you are looking for it.

You have not written from what region of India you are.

Date palms that could get raised would be in Northwest of Indian
subcontinent I believe.

Why not take interest in fruit that goes by the names
Kaki, Japanese Persimmon, Oriental Persimmon or Sharon Fruit
