(Day 188) - Need a Date?

Can't believe how full of dates this palm tree is. They're actually pretty good. They have a nice sweet, mellow taste and are especially good in cookies!

Did you know that a date palm can live over 100 years and still produce fruit? Wonder how old this one is? Guess you're never too old for dates. :)

Also have an awesome weekend and maybe enjoy a date...be it with your special someone, your marriage mate, or even your kids (they might like date cookies better though). :P
Do they fall off when they're ripe or does some brave soul have to climb up there to pick them? I have a date with my camera this week end (o:

Very cool to see this as I've not seen dates growing.

That means business lol ;)

@olivetreeann - Actually both! Most of the time you can use the ones that fall off, but the ones sold in stores have professionals who go up there to pick them! Date with your camera is a very good date, I'm doing the same!

I've never seen dates in the 'wild' before. Wonderful spot of orange!
