Greetings all,

In our backyard, there has been a palm tree since we moved in 7 years ago. I don't know the variety of the tree, but it's more of a squat shape and not exceptionally tall. There are sacs and sacs of what appear to be dates, round in size. They are green and hard, and for all I know they are not dates at all. But just the same, I've eaten a date called Barhi, and they are fairly round in size---kind of what my little green things look like! If indeed they are edible dates, maybe there's some sort of process that needs to be done, to ripen them. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading my post,

Jeff
