Desert Date Palm |
This tree, the source of edible dates, will grow 60'- 80' tall and has greyish-green leaves on a slender trunk. It does well in desert and ocean gardens and those in between. This palm is often used in formal groupings around large buildings. Yellow fruit appear in winter, attracting wildlife and creating litter. Only female plants, if pollinated, will produce fruit. Flowers are insignificant.

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
