Medjoul Dates: Expectations vs. Reality
Antibacterial Activity Of Date Palm (PhoenixDectyliferaL.) Fruit At Distinct Ripening Stages For more than 60 years, Sphinx Date Co. has provided premium good quality bulk dates and date gifts. Dates are naturally wind pollinated , but in both conventional oasis horticulture and in the modern day commercial orchards they are entirely pollinated manually Organic pollination occurs with about an equal number of male and female plants. On the other hand, with help, a single male can pollinate up to 100 females. Since the males are of worth only as pollinators, this makes it possible for the growers to use their sources for many much more fruit-creating female plants. Some growers do not even maintain any male plants, as male flowers come to be obtainable at nearby markets at pollination time. Manual pollination is performed by skilled labourers on ladders , or by use of a wind machine. In some areas such as Iraq the pollinator climbs the tree using a special climbing tool that wraps about the tree trunk and the climber's back (known as ????? in Arabic) to maintain him attached to the trunk though climbing.
