Excerpt from The Date Palm: And Its Utilization in the Southwestern States The purpose of this bulletin is to call attention to the peculiar suitability of the date palm for cultivation in the hottest and most arid regions in the Southwestern States and to its remarkable ability to Withstand large amounts of alkali in the soil. The most intense heat, the most excessive dryness of the air, the absence of all rain fall for months at a time during the growing season, and even the hot, dry winds that blow in desert regions are not drawbacks, as in almost all other cultures, but positive advantages to the date palm, enabling it to mature fruit of the highest excellence.
