Morocco has an infinite variety of fig, almond, walnut and date trees. However, it is in the oasis of the south where date palms are king.

Best grown in the South, Moroccan dates can be found hanging in bunches off palm palms (phoenix dactylfera) in the area between Goulmima to Zagora and within the entire Draa Valley. In Zagora, you can explore the enclosed gardens of the Ksar Tissergate, where over twenty-five different species of palm trees thrive. In Morocco, there exist over 100 varieties of dates and in the south over forty-five varieties.
