Re: Weekend Report

Seeds for trees. That's all I know. But that's probably enough. These are very popular landscape palms--I suppose because they're nice looking and fast growing but not terribly expensive as palms go.

Jim said these dates are not edible.  So what are the other uses?

Take the fresh fruit to your local food bank. They can't take "home
processed" food, but anything fresh is usually greatly appreciated.

Egads.. that is a A lot of dates there..... glad the women have a

plan.....can't imagine what you would do with all of those, surely
can't


eat



them all....



I know for us northerns, that is a strange site, but is it common to
see

bunches of dates (as well as other fruits, such as bananas) as you
drive

around your area? Just curious....



My excess fruit (so far only plums and peaches) turns into jelly when

everyone I know gives me the look as I try to hand them more fruit


<lol>.



Not sure what I am going to do this year... got cases of jelly



downstairs



already....

The dates are only about 7 feet off the ground. I can reach most of
them.

Our old queen palm [Syagrus romanzoffiana] flowered and fruited



this



year, as it does every year. But when my two favorite teachers--Ms
Fatma and Ms Whelma--noticed it this year, they thought "teaching



unit



with products to sell at open house." Today, the queen's dates



began



to
ripen, so I began to pick them [palm dates do not ripen all at



once,



but over a period of weeks]. Pictures of the queen and her dates



can
