Palm Walk years old, although scientific research has shown that the trees could live as much as five hundred years. As such, the university has drawn up plans to replace the palms with Date palms of an unknown cultivar, in the coming years. These trees would not only provide more shade than the current trees, but they would also allow for harvestable dates, which could then be sold locally. While there is no timeline on replacement of current palms, it is expected that it would be done in the coming decade. Originally, there was no official name for the Palm Walk, as

Palm stearin Palm stearin is the solid fraction of palm oil that is produced by partial crystallization at controlled temperature. It is more variable in composition than palm olein, the liquid fraction of palm oil, especially in terms of its solid fat content, and therefore has more variable physical characteristics. Like crude palm fruit oil, palm stearin contains carotenoids, but physically refined palm oils do not, as they are removed
