The date (Phoenix dactylifera) is the fruit of the date palm. It is a berry of golden yellow color or reddish-brown when ripe. Its meat is soft, aromatic, and sweet, with a stone inside it of elongate shape and with a longitudinal furrow.
Care
Drought tolerant when established, this palm is a desert native. Ensure the hole where the palm is planted is double to size of the base to allow the roots to spread.
