Medjool Dates (Phoenix dactylifera)

Rare as a hen’s teeth!

Medjool dates are a variety of date enjoyed for their natural sweetness. They’re larger, darker, and more caramel-like in taste than other common types of dates. Many people refer to Medjool Dates, which are native to Morocco as “the king of dates”.

They have been dubbed "nature's candy" for having a semi-soft flesh that is similar in texture and taste to delicious, chewy caramel.

Medjool Dates tend to take years to produce so now is time to future proof your garden with this exotic plant.

Makes a beautiful landscape statement for the garden.
