Dwarf Date Trees

Question

is there any dwarf palm tree that bear fruit {dates} where can I buy it

Answer 1

There is a pygmy date palm (Phoenix roebellenii) that bears an edible fruit but it is not the same as a date from a true date palm (P. dactylifera). All the Phoenix palms require a male and female tree to get fruit. Only the female tree produces fruit, and then only if pollinated.

Pygmy date palms are widely available but finding a male or female labeled specimen is trickier. They are typically grown as an ornamental. A tree nursery may have them labeled.
