The hybrid date palm seedling (Phoenix dactylifera), also commonly known as “hybrid date”, is a flowering plant species in the palm family, Arecaceae, cultivated for its edible sweet fruit.
The hybrid date palm seedlings grow into trees reaching about 21–23 metres (69–75 ft) in height, growing singly or forming a clump with several stems from a single root system. Hybrid date fruits (dates) are oval-cylindrical, 3 to 7 centimetres (1 to 3 in) long, and about 2.5 centimetres (1 in) in diameter, with colour ranging from bright red to bright yellow, depending on the variety. Containing 61–68 per cent sugar by mass when dried, hybrid dates are very sweet and are enjoyed as desserts on their own or within confections.
Hybrid Date Palm Seedlings can take about 4 to 8 years planting before they bear their fruit. They usually require well-drained deep sandy loam soils with a pH of 8-11. A lot of benefits can be gotten from this improved hybrid variety as they are great sources of essential nutrients.
