The Date Palm is one of the most popular palm trees in the world, and is a tall evergreen palm tree that has a slender trunk topped with a crown of arching fronds. Each gray-green, waxy leaf is divided into stiff, sharp pointed leaflets, while creamy-yellow flowers are produced in drooping panicles on male and female trees. The flowers on female palms give way to showy clusters of large, edible, very sweet fruits with a thick layer of fruit pulp. The Date Palm is one of the longest cultivated plants in the world, having been grown at least 5,000 years ago. For best production, it is important that at least one male plant be planted for every 6 female plants.
