Re: A date with a palm


Palm Springs circa 1950 was in the heydays of the area!  Oh how I wish I'd seen it then!

And Bill, you hit the nail on the head.  Date palms grow over much of California but the only place I know where they fruit reliably is the Coachella Valley - which includes Palm Springs!

In the 1950s I bought a home in Palm Springs in So. California. Nearby was a spot where one could get a Date Palm Malt. It was one of the greatest drinks you could imagine. In fact, if I had one at lunch I did not need to eat dinner that night. So I do know a spot in California where the trees produce dates. Ah, memories. bill grant
