Dates are a drupe fruit that several members of the Palm tree genus Phoenix produce. The Senegal date palm, Canary Island date palm and traditional African date palm, or Phoenix dactylifera, all give us the sweet, tasty fruit we call dates. They are attractive trees that can reach heights of 100 feet or taller, although they grow only in USDA climate zone 9 and higher. Larvae of the raisin moth (Cadra figulilella) and the greater date moth (Arenipses sabella) sometimes attack ripening fruit, both on and off the tree. Pheromone traps can help to control the adult population.
