Phoenix dactylifera, commonly known as date or date palm,is a flowering plant species in the palm family, Arecaceae, cultivated for its edible sweet fruit called dates. The species is widely cultivated across northern Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, and is naturalized in many tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. P. dactylifera is the type species of genus Phoenix, which contains 12–19 species of wild date palms.Date trees reach up to 30 metres (100 ft) in height, growing singly or forming a clump with several stems from a single root system. Slow-growing, they can reach over 100 years of age when maintained properly.The leaves are 4–6 metres (13–20 ft) long, with spines on the petiole, and pinnate, with about 150 leaflets. The leaflets are 30 cm (12 in) long and 2 cm (1 in) wide. The full span of the crown ranges from 6–10 m (20–33 ft).
The date palm is dioecious, having separate male and female plants. They can be easily grown from seed, but only 50% of seedlings will be female and hence fruit bearing, and dates from seedling plants are often smaller and of poorer quality. Most commercial plantations thus use cuttings of heavily cropping cultivars. Plants grown from cuttings will fruit 2–3 years earlier than seedling plants.
Date palms can take 4 to 8 years after planting before they will bear fruit, and start producing viable yields for commercial harvest between 7 and 10 years. Mature date palms can produce 70–140 kg of dates per harvest season. They do not all ripen at the same time so several harvests are required. To obtain fruit of marketable quality, the bunches of dates must be thinned and bagged or covered before ripening so that the remaining fruits grow larger and are protected from weather and animals, such as birds, that also like to eat them.
Date palms require well-drained deep sandy loam soils with a pH of 8–11 (alkaline). The soil should have the ability to hold moisture and also be free of calcium carbonate.
On average, dates contain 21% water, 75% carbohydrates (63% sugars and 8% dietary fiber), 2% protein, and less than 1% fat (table). In a 100-gram (3+1⁄2 oz) reference amount, dates supply 1,180 kilojoules (280 kilocalories) of food energy and are a moderate source (10-19% of the Daily Value) of pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, and the dietary minerals magnesium, manganese, and potassium, with other micronutrients in low amounts.
Glucose makes up about 55% of sugar content in dates, while fructose is about 45%, and sucrose is negligible. A 2011 study found that the glycemic index (GI) for five different varieties of date had a range of 46–55,while a 2002 report showed GI values of 31–50, results indicating dates are a relatively low GI food source.
How to Care for a Date Palm
After planting date palms, you will need to follow good date palm tree care. In addition to irrigation and support, palms need good nutrient management and pest and disease control. Manure makes an excellent fertilizer in early spring. You can also use a palm tree fertilizer high in potassium. Watch for pests and diseases and deal with them quickly as they arise. Once trees are established, you will rarely need to water them. Date palms prefer dry soil and excess moisture can inhibit growth. Keep weeds and turf away from the base in a radius of five feet (1.5 m.). In areas where production is possible, thin fruit by one-half. This increases the size of fruit and ensures a crop the next year. Tie the ripening clusters to an adjacent branch for support and use netting to protect the fruit from birds.

Wodyetia bifurcata (Mirchi Meri Green)
Product Price: Rs 120 / PieceGet Best Price
Minimum Order Quantity: 50 Piece
Product Details:
| Usage/Application | Garden |
| Brand | PlantsShip |
| Botanical Name | Wodyetia Bifurcata |
| Height when Fully Grown | 6 or 7 feet |
| Other Necessities | Fast Growth |
| Soil Specific | Loamy, Clay |
| Country of Origin | Made in India |
Planting Care:
- A full-grown palm house plant is quite expensive, so they are usually purchased as small, tabletop plants. They add 6 to 10 inches of growth per year until they reach a mature height of 6 or 7 feet. Areca palm is one of the few palms that can tolerate trimming without serious harm, making it possible to keep mature plants indoors for their full lifespan of up to 10 years.
- Sunlight: Palm s prefer partial shade (or partial with some sunlight), as they are more than happy in low-light conditions.
- Soil: Chalky, Loamy, Sandy moist but well-drained.
- Water: Water the plant until the soil is evenly moist. Do not over water the palm plant or leave it sitting in water. Check often to be sure that the plant is draining properly.
- Temperature: They can handle a winter rest in cooler conditions, not less than 50 F. (10 C.). They do tolerate central heating.
- Fertilizer: Feed your palm regularly during the growing season. If possible, use a palm fertilizer, which will contain all the micro nutrients and extra potassium and manganese. Potassium deficiency is especially common in palms—it shows up in yellowing or brownish fronds.
Care:
- Palms grow best when you let their roots fill the pot.
- They need soil-based potting compost and should not be repotted unnecessarily.
- They are sensitive to chemicals and will be damaged if you expose them to aerosol sprays.
- If you need to treat them with insecticides, be sure what you use is suitable for a palm.
Special Feature:
- Palms tend to lend themselves to creating shadows and reflections. You can stand a palm in an alcove that is lined with a mirror and create stunning effects. If you put one on each side of a fireplace, it’s even doubly stunning. The shadows cast by the palm’s fronds can pattern a plain wall. Spotlights can create good strong light for bold shadows.
- These are quite dramatic. Don’t position spotlights too closely because this generates too much heat for the palm to withstand. Finally, lighting the plant from below can cast shadows onto opposite walls and even the ceiling.

The areca is known as a cane type palm because of the bamboo cane looking stems once it's matured. They're also very similar to the feather types (especially the kentia palm) that display similar leaflets (leaves) and grows up to about the same height indoors.
Specifications:
- Displaying: An attractive species that prides itself in improving a home or office décor and makes a great focal point for large rooms, hallways, reception areas and conservatories. Many sold are about 5ft tall making them a good choice for growers that require an indoor tree type plant. As long as your ability to provide enough light and warm enough temperatures your palm will thrive wherever you decide to display it.
- Easy to grow: Most people find growing and maintaining this undemanding plant easy enough. One of the worst things a grower can do is over water and allow water to stagnate near the root system, otherwise, they're a real pleasure to grow.
- Cleaner air and non-toxic for pets: All plants clean airborne toxins for us to breath in healthier oxygen, but palms (including the gypsies lutescent) was named as one of the best air purifying plants after a scientific clean air study was completed by Wolverton and Nasa.
ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) state this plant is non-toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.

The smooth, light-grey to light-brown trunk is 12 to 18 inches in diameter, thicker at the base. The crown-shaft is 3 feet tall, bluish green in color. The crown is formed by eight to ten arching evergreen fronds that emerge from the crown-shaft. Like the name suggests, the palm fronds resemble the tail of a fox. The leaflets are wedge-shaped with jagged ends and dark green to bluish green in color in top, silvery underneath.

Planting Care:
- Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade.
- Soil: well draining and not highly acidic.
- Water: Keep the soil moist.
- Temperature: Can survive up to 30 degrees F minimum.
- Fertilizer: Controlled release of fertilizer is preferable to rapid release, water soluble fertilizer, as the latter moves through the soil too quickly to benefit the deep and spreading root system.
Care:
- The foxtail palm tree prefers a humid environment which may be provided by nearby fountains or pebble trays in the immediate area where it is grown.
- Caring for foxtail palms should include mulching, but mulch should not hug the trunk.
- Mulching helps retain moisture and discourages maintenance workers from accidentally injuring the trunk with mowers and trimmers.
- It also keeps weed growth down in the area of the foxtail palm tree.
Use
Ornamental use:
- The foxtail palm tree is suitable for container growing and may be used as an interior planting if correct growing conditions exist.
- Foxtail palm trees add majestic tropical appeal to residential and commercial landscape designs.
