My money is on date palms as they would involve no processing, little transport and command a much higher market price and profit. https://www.bangkokpost.com/life/social-and-lifestyle/887148/a-date-with-destiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pleasantly sweet, much less candy-like than date palm fruit. jujube: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=พุทราอินเดีย&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAAFkAJv_CAMSCy9nLzEyMHg1Y3owIgkvbS8wNmJxc3cqHk9yZ2FuaXNtQ2xhc3NpZmljYXRpb25TaWRld2F5c6IFJOC4nuC4uOC4l-C4o-C4suC4reC4tOC4meC5gOC4lOC4teC4orgFAe5ZYURkAAAA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiRh-OK4rjrAhWUH7cAHcJAA1UQxA0wIXoECAkQBQ date palm: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=อินทผลัม&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAAFXAKj_CAMSCy9nLzEyMHg1Y3owIggvbS8wbTBnYyoeT3JnYW5pc21DbGFzc2lmaWNhdGlvblNpZGV3YXlzogUY4Lit4Li04LiZ4LiX4Lic4Lil4Lix4LihuAUBd9YyCVcAAAA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiRh-OK4rjrAhWUH7cAHcJAA1UQxA0wIXoECAkQCw Thanks for that. Very informative. I stand corrected. Silly when you think that I was the external examiner for a University of London PhD on date palm tissue culture about 23 years ago, knowing ziltch about date palms, although a general specialist in plant tissue culture. Just goes to show........ But I did learn how extremely useful and valuable is date palm agriculture in the middle east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than a condo block but still inferior to the mature natural vegetation that was there before and is in the adjacent plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
