This date palm was the Tree of Life that grew in the courtyard of the Temple back in the old days.

This is wonderful news. As I understand it, the Judean date used to be a prized export and a big money-maker in Judea back 2 millennia ago. The Romans deliberately wiped them out --- wiped out every one, or so they hoped --- to cause destitution among the Judeans in revenge for anti-Roman rebellions.
That they could get that germ line activated again is really splendid. Tip o' the kippah to the great Israeli agronomists.
