Going back to the desert from the coastal area is painful, this time of year. The temperature is extremely different, but dates will not grow themselves. Actually medjool dates do grown themselves, but require extensive
cultivation to grow them big. You do have to check to be sure the date palm are getting water otherwise at the end of the summer you end up with no date palms at all. To Rancho Mirage, then the medjool date orchard.
