Why growers choose Phoenix
Traceability to the mother tree.
Date palms are among the hardest crops to propagate. Our lab produces them at commercial scale for growers across the United States and internationally.
Disease free, export ready
Clean of surface bacteria and fungi, indexed for specific pathogens, and built to meet international phytosanitary requirements.
California date palms
Every plant is a genetic copy of its mother palm and traceable back to that tree. What you plant is what you harvest.
Uniform at scale
Trees grow evenly, so large plantings are easier to manage and come into production together.
Our goal is to help the date palm industry grow and to build lasting relationships between date farming communities around the world.
The laboratory · California, USA
Where every palm begins.
Our headquarters and laboratory in California, USA house clean rooms, culture rooms and a greenhouse. We turn tissue from a selected mother palm into thousands of identical plantlets, then root and harden each one until it is ready for the field.

Date palm tissue culture
From one palm to a whole farm.
A rapid, sterile, clonal method. Four lab stages take tissue from a proven mother palm to a rooted plant your crew can put in the ground.

Why not seed or offshoots?
No two seedlings are alike and about half turn out male, which you may not learn for seven years. Offshoots are limited, seasonal and can carry pests. Tissue culture removes all three problems.
The source · Coachella Valley
It starts with the mother palm.
The mother palm is the single most important part of successful tissue culture. Ours grow on our own Medjool farm in the California desert, where we farm the same trees we propagate.
California Medjool · our signature line
The California to Morocco connection.
Every Medjool in California traces back to one palm in the Boudnib oasis. California Medjool plantlets come from that same line, now returning to growers in Morocco and around the world.
Date safarisUSDA scientists search the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa for varieties suited to the American desert.
A new homeMedjool offshoots from Boudnib, Morocco are grown out at the USDA date garden in Indio, California, the start of the state's Medjool industry.
Back to MoroccoOur Coachella Valley mother palms supply California Medjool plantlets, supporting Morocco's date palm industry and growers worldwide.
