The power of plants
The desert date is a tree from the dry regions of Africa and Asia, not to be confused with the date palm, which produces dates. It is a highly robust tree with a powerful root system which can reach deep underground water reserves, enabling it to withstand long periods of drought. This capacity has fascinated local communities who consider the tree sacred. The desert date is integral to local daily life thanks to its many uses. It provides food for people and livestock, offers medicinal benefits, and is used in buildings and as fuel.
