Key Attributes
About Date, Palm Seed
Grown for thousands of years for its sweet fruit and towering, elegant form, Date Palm is the classic desert palm. Phoenix dactylifera develops a tall, rugged trunk crowned with long, arching, gray-green feathery fronds and often produces offshoots at the base. It loves intense heat and full sun, making it ideal for hot, dry climates, while young seedlings make attractive container plants anywhere. Note that seedlings are a mix of male and female plants, and fruit quality varies.
