The date fruit is outer fleshy part surrounds the seed inside. The fruit is oval to cylindrical in shape, 3–7 cms long, and 2–3 cms diameter, and ripe dates range from golden yellow to deep brown depending on the cultivar type. Because of the biology of the date palm, its cultivation has a number of unusual features that are not common in other crops. There are a number of cultural practices that require access to the crown of the tree, and in old trees reaching tens of meters in height, this can be challenging and sometimes dangerous. The crown of the tree needs to be accessed for pollination, bunch tie-down, covering, harvesting, and pruning. Although the practice of climbing the trees for access to the crown in still found in all date-producing areas, the use of mechanical lifts is common in more advanced or industrialized production areas, such as the United States

There are many varieties of date palm cultivated. ‘Amir Hajj’, ‘Saidy’, 'Khadrawy' and 'Medjool' are some of the important varieties popular for their rich taste, flavor, and superior quality. Wonderfully delicious, dates are one of the most popular fruits packed with an impressive list of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that are required for normal growth. In Indonesia, dates are often sold when Ramadhan. Dates are usually eaten by moslem people in their breakfasting as appetizer. Whereas in Southeast Spain, dates are usually served wrapped in bacon and shallow fried. In recent decades, dates also have been used for ornamental and landscape purposes in southern Europe and the United States (Arizona, California, Nevada, and Florida).
