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 trees take as much water as a willow tree, yet they cannot tolerate rain or humidity. That's why dates have to be grown in the hot desert, where our average rainfall is less than 3 inches per year, and our summer temperatures reach nearly 120 degrees. The ground around the date trees has to be kept clear of grass and weeds which cause humidity.
