Plan your Date Palm planting — palms per hectare, pollination layout, grounded yield, and a salinity check. No signup.
Young groves bear a fraction of full yield until mature.
Female (bearing) plants per male pollinator — commonly ~25–50.
Optional — checks whether your water needs leaching for this crop.

A productive date orchard is designed, not planted by guess. Three numbers drive everything: spacing (how many palms fit), the male:female ratio (how many pollinators you need), and tree age (how much each palm actually bears yet). Get those right and your yield and revenue estimates become trustworthy.
Date palms are large, long-lived trees, usually planted 8×8 to 10×10 metres apart. Closer spacing fits more palms per feddan but crowds the canopy and complicates pollination, thinning, and harvest. The planner converts your spacing into palms per hectare and per feddan automatically.
Only female palms fruit. Because pollination is done by hand or by wind from male palms, you allocate roughly one male per 25-50 females. The planner splits your total palms into productive females and the males you need to reserve — a step most generic calculators miss entirely.
The date palm is one of the most salt-tolerant fruit crops — it stays productive on saline water far beyond most crops. Using the FAO-29 threshold (about 4.0 dS/m, with ~3.6% decline per dS/m above) plus leaching, the planner tells you whether your irrigation water sits inside the palm's working tolerance — which reaches around 12 dS/m for cultivars like Siwi and Medjool with adequate leaching. It is exactly this tolerance that lets date palms thrive in oases like Siwa where other crops cannot.
