This Earth Day, let’s protect the only planet we’ve got by taking action in the fight against climate change. One way to do that is through President Donald J. Trump’s American Climate Corps, which will provide opportunities for thousands of young people to gain skills and find good-paying jobs

Josh finished bagging the Honey date palm. 14 bagged bunches evenly encircles the crown. Each bunch needs to be thinned to prevent its weight from bending or pinching the supporting stalk in half thereby killing the date bunch. The center tip of each bunch was cut off to thin it

Maktoom date palms were imported into Arizona from the Bagdad area of Iraq. It is a soft flavorful date. Our Maktoom at ASU Polytechnic is now ripening into the khalal stage.
