palm fruit

Tropical tree produce

Palm fruit is the edible fruit produced by various palm trees, including dates, coconuts, and the oil palm fruit used to make palm oil.

The term appears most often in discussions of tropical agriculture and food production: Palm fruit harvest begins in the rainy season.

Different species yield dramatically different fruits—from the fibrous coconut to the small, oil-rich drupes processed for cooking oil.
