Date palms are known for hybridizing as each palm is either male or female and must be pollinated by another date palm. Date Palms that form seeds are females and will always be females. Male Date Palms have flowers that bloom on what looks like a feather duster. Hybrids can then get pollinated and lead to some unusual results. This process of cross pollination makes it difficult to assure that any seeds collected are "true" to the variety.
