The problem is that the date palms are actually in my neighbor's yard, but right at the edge so its almost halfway over ours. My neighbours aren't bothered to do anything about it. Yes, the green net-covers are used by municipality to cover & protect the date clusters that come under their jurisdiction. But very few privately owned trees are cared for in that way. Don't worry, inshaAllah, there will still be plenty of fresh dates by Eid Al Adha! Enjoy your 'date-rain' in Egypt! Walaikumasalaam Umm Ridhwaan,

In the Emirates you will see the green colored netting that they wrap them with. When the nakhlah(date palm) has reached it's production peak, it's time to cut them down. You might want to try that method using a qualified specialist to come to care for the trees in your yard. I love date season in the Emirates! It was one of my special times outside of Ramadhaan. Now this year it's end will just about coincide with the Holy Month, when Khallas are coming out.........ummmmmm yummy! Save me some in the freezer, I plan to come there perhaps for Eid Al Adhaa. Enjoy! Umm Ridhwaan waiting for dates to ripen in Egypt As Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah,
