When referring to an airman (or airmen) within the first four ranks (named above) and the airmanâs name and specific rank is not specified, use the lower case âa.â It can get confusing. Just an FYI a year later haha.
In the United States, the major date growing areas are Southern California and Arizona. However, there are date palms growing throughout California, Arizona, Southern Utah, Nevada, Texas, and most of Florida. Date palms of various species are sometimes. found in protected areas in colder states such as the Carolinas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.
Dates grow large, up to 120 feet and can live for 100 years. The large trees need room to grow and spread out the adventitious surface roots that anchor the plant and help it gather surface water. Take care when planting date palms to choose a location with plenty of space both vertically and horizontally.
