| Phoenix theophrastii
This is the hardiest of all the date palms, this rare species is only known from a few small sites on the Greek island of Crete and in southern Turkey. It is somewhat similar to the true Date Palm but has a particularly compact appearance with silvery-gray, spiky leaves and clustering trunks. Its fruits are sweetish and edible but not as delicious as true dates and much smaller.
