The date palm has flourished in Israel since the Neolithic period near the site of Jericho. It was grown for its leaves (lulav for Sukkot) and general thatching. It was a symbol of immortality or fertility; it had sweet fruit fresh or could be dried, made into date honey, syrup., or date liqueur. Even the palm leaves could be woven for many items. Fibers for ropes and such, woven baskets and brooms, sandals and fans. Apiculture or beehive raising was never a major industry of the Jews, and thus it had to be date honey.
