What is the fruit of a palm tree?

The fruit of a palm tree is found in its seeds, some seeds are
covered with yummy coverings, like the date seed, and some have
tasty liquid, like the coconut palm tree. I personally love the
Dates that come from the Medjool Palm Tree. They are the dates
found in most grocery stores around the world. The date palm is
originally from India but is now found throughout the arid regions
of North America. Also the Pindo Palm Tree, known as the Jelly Palm
Tree, is also edibly scrupmtious!
So to recap, the fruit of the palm tree is its seed and
sometimes the seeds coverings are sweet to the taste.
