A large number of date cultivars and varieties emerged through history of its cultivation, but the exact number is difficult to assess. Hussain and El-Zeid [1] (1975) have reported 400 varieties, while Nixon [2] (1954) named around 250.
The variety is planted both for its fruit and for landscaping. [7] [8] The medjool is a distinct landrace, described as producing "large soft fruit, with orange-yellowish flesh, and a mildly rich and pleasing flavor". [9] Being large, soft, and with a "caramel, honey" flavor, the variety has been called "the king of dates". [10]

Date palms can take 4 to 8 years after planting before they will bear fruit, and start producing viable yields for commercial harvest between 7 and 10 years. Mature date palms can produce 70–140 kilograms (150–300 pounds) [21] [22] of dates per harvest season. They do not all ripen at the same time so several harvests are required.
