You Can Hold This Ice Cream of the Future in Your Bare Hands

And the date trees are no different. They have thorns that are approximately 4 to 5 inches long, and can easily pierce thru a truck tire. So the very first thing we do is to remove the thorns to make it possible to work in the date trees. The Sex Life of a Date Date Palms are unique in that they are either a male tree or a female tree. The male trees produce pollen, and the female trees produce flowers. Unfortunately, neither birds or bees are attracted to the flowers, so the females have to be hand pollinated. During the later part of February we begin to watch for the sheaths on the male trees to begin splittin...
