wild date

Outside the gardens grow some wild date-palms, which yield a smaller crop, but whose fruit is much more savoury.

In the parts through which he passed these mounds were generally covered by masses of wild date trees.

These are generally covered with wild date-trees and palmyras, and in some parts there are forests of mimosae and mopane.

The banks are lined with palm, wild date-trees, and many guavas, the fruit of which was now becoming ripe.

The members thereof are employed in hunting, cultivation, and the manufacture of wild date baskets.
