Phoenix dactylifera | Date Palm | 20 Seeds

Phoenix dactylifera, commonly known as the date palm, is a revered and iconic palm tree species native to the Middle East and North Africa. This majestic tree is celebrated for its tall, straight trunk, often reaching heights of 75 feet (23 meters) or more, and its crown of feathery, pinnate leaves that can grow up to 18 feet (5.5 meters) in length. Date palms are known for their historic and cultural significance, primarily for the delicious and nutritious fruit they produce, known as dates. These sweet and succulent fruits hang in large clusters beneath the leaves and are a staple food source in many regions. Date palms are highly adaptable and thrive in arid and desert environments, as they are well-suited to hot, dry climates with well-draining soil. Beyond their practical value, these palm trees are a symbol of beauty, resilience, and ancient heritage, often used in landscaping to provide shade and a touch of tropical elegance to parks, gardens, and avenues.  Zones 8-11 Germinatio
