The date palm(海枣) is a wonderful tree. People eat dates. They feed them to their animals. They use the leaves and wood (木)to build houses. They use the wood to build boats. They make baskets from the leaves. They burn the other parts of the trees to cook food.

The date palm came from the Middle East. Seven thousand years ago, people in Syria and Egypt ate dates. They made pictures of date palms on their stone buildings. Today date palms grow in the Middle East, parts of Asia and Africa, southern Europe, and other warm parts of the world.

There are more than 2700 kinds of palm trees, most of which can't grow in the Middle East because it is too dry. But the date palm grows well there.
