DATE PALMS Date Palm Phoenix dactylifera has been cultivated in the Middle East for thousands of years. Its simple trunk ringed with scars of old leaf-bases grows to 30 metres and is crowned with shiny feathery leaves, each about 5 metres in length. Clusters of male and female flowers develop on separate trees. One female tree can yield 250 kilograms of dates each year for more than a hundred years. Date palms are now grown in many warm parts of the world. [CH] {EN}
