Resort Style Date Palms™ is a majestic and iconic palm tree known for its towering height, elegant form, and edible fruit. Native to the Middle East and North Africa, this stately palm features a tall, singular trunk lined with old leaf scars and a crown of long, feathery, blue-green fronds that can span up to 15 feet. In warm, arid climates, it produces clusters of sweet, nutritious dates that have been cultivated for thousands of years. With its dramatic silhouette and historical significance, the True Date Palm adds both beauty and utility to landscapes, especially in desert or Mediterranean-style gardens.

Thriving in hot, dry climates, the Resort Style Date Palms™ performs best in USDA Zones 9 through 11 and requires full sun and well-drained soil. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and relatively low-maintenance aside from periodic trimming of old fronds. While it grows slowly at first, it can eventually reach heights of 40 to 80 feet, making it an impressive focal point in large landscapes, resorts, or estates. Whether planted for ornamental appeal or fruit production, the True Date Palm offers timeless elegance and resilience in the right environment.

"I've always loved how these large resort style palms accent the pool around some of my favorite vacation spots. Since we've moved into our new home I've been wanting these and finally we pulled trigger. I am so mad at myself for waiting to get this done. My yard literally looks like something out of a Beverly Hills magazine. I am so happy with the planting that Moon Valley Nurseries crew did. They came in with all the equipment and their planters dug the holes in no time. I love the fact that they include the equipment, crane, digging and everything into the tree so you're not getting nickle-n-dimed for everything they do. I can't wait to get the rest of the yard done in a couple of week when they come back out with all of our shade trees!"

"My yard really needed a few replacement palm trees and I've always liked the trunk of the palm trees you see at hotels but I didn't know what kind of palms those are. I stopped by Moon Valley to see what I could learn and the nice folks there not only knew exactly what palm tree I was interested in (the Date palm), they had tons at the nursery in huge sizes! I'm not getting any younger so the bigger the Date palm I can get, the better and I can guarantee you won't be able to find any bigger Date palms then the ones Moon Valley has. Got my Date palm planted and now my yard in the envy of the block! "
