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 are oval-cylindrical, 3â7 cm long, and 2â3 cm (0.79â1.18 in) diameter, and when ripe, range from bright red to bright yellow in colour, depending on variety. Dates contain a single stone about 2â2.5 cm (0.79â0.98 in) long and 6â8 mm (0.24â0.31 in) thick. Three main cultivar groups of date exist: soft (e.g. 'Barhee', 'Halawy', 'Khadrawy', 'Medjool'), semi-dry (e.g. 'Dayri', ' Deglet Noor ', 'Zahdi'), and dry (e.g. 'Thoory').
