And, they need some loving care when the dates develop and begin to ripen. It is easiest to keep the mess to a minimum and collect the most fruit in late summer when you "bag" them up. It's quite a process to prepare the trees and get the bags around the dates. He spent several hours watching the men work high in the trees.
On the tree limbs are very long and very sharp thorns that need to be cut back. These two guys showed him wounds that they have from getting poked and cut by the thorns.
The end result - All neatly contained and ready to ripen!
Andy is grateful he didn't have to do this tough job!
