Phoenix dactylifera (date palm) - Palms in the Djanet oasis (Algeria) in the Central Sahara
In the northern part of the Sahara are palms often cultivated in funnel-shaped oases. They protect the palms from sand storms. The palms develop only short stems. Cut palm fronds are often fitted together as wind protections.
