Yemen Date Palm Live Plant – Phoenix dactylifera Tropical Fruit Tree

Grow a classic fruiting palm with a Yemen Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) live plant. Date palms are prized for their elegant, feathery foliage and are widely cultivated in warm climates as ornamental and fruit-bearing trees. They make an excellent addition to tropical landscapes, specialty collections, and container gardens while young.

This listing includes a live starter plant. Yemen Date Palms grow best in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, they are known for their heat tolerance and can be grown outdoors in suitable climates or maintained in containers where winter protection is needed.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
