What is the name of a fruit tree with its head in the fire and its feet in the water? What area does it grow in? Which country is the main producer? How many years does it usually take to grow fruit? What is the taste of fruit? Date palm tree, a kind of green tree in Palmae, has fruit called date palm, also known as Persian date, Fanzao date and Iraqi date.

Date palm trees are distributed in the tropical desert climate zone of West Asia. They are hot and dry all year round, which can be described as "finding chestnuts from the fire". Irrigated agriculture is developed in West Asia, and jujube trees are distributed in oasis areas with abundant aquatic plants, which can be described as "feet immersed in water".

The annual output of date palms in the world is 4.5 million tons, of which Arab countries produce 3010.5 million tons, with an output value of 654.38+0.3 billion US dollars. Jujube is rich in sugar and nutrition, which is not only edible, but also the raw material for sugar and wine making. Seeds are edible residual oil and have high fruit yield, which is an important export crop in some countries in the Middle East.

Dates usually take six or seven months to blossom and bear fruit. Newborn dates are cyan, turn yellow when they grow up, and turn reddish brown when they mature. Jujube is oval, and hundreds of them are assembled into a ball. Each tree can grow five to ten groups, and each group can weigh seven or eight kilograms. In this way, a fruit-laden date palm tree can bear sixty or seventy kilograms of date palms every year.

Jujube produced in different countries and regions has different shapes, sizes, colors and textures, but it has high sugar content.

After 10 years of artificial cultivation, it can blossom and bear fruit. It is wise to sow or tiller. Tillering seedlings can bear fruit after 5 years of planting. The phenomenon of big and small years is more common. When planting, 2% male plants should be allocated as pollination trees.
