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.
Date palms grow about 1 foot a year. Medjool dates (Phoenix dactylifera Medjool) are the most expensive dates, and with good reason -- they are large, soft, very sweet and more labor-intensive to grow and harvest. In their native land they used to be reserved for royalty.
