Did you know that you can grow a fruit-bearing date palm tree from a seed? The overwhelming majority of fruit trees either need grafting or have to grow from a sapling, a young tree grown from a special cutting or from an offspring from the root of the main tree. Not dates. All you need is to soak the seeds for a few days before planting. The roots are utterly strong, straight and very-very long, well-equipped to dig deep into the earth down to the water table under the “barren” sand or soil of any kind and procure their own water independently. Date palm trees need plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures, they can survive a few degrees below zero colds.
The abundance of the nature is mind-blowing. Imagine a tree, which starts bearing fruit only 4-5 years after planting a seed. Then year after year it develops its full potential of yielding 40-80 kg of fruit per year.
How much of human stupidity and self-harm it should take to destroy the nature? Well, plenty.
