Everyone knows that we are the queens of the oasis we the female date-palms we've been in Tunisia for thousands of years.
Nowadays Tunisia is the first exporter of dates in the world with presence on every continent but our real Empire is a round shot edge weed or the country of the palms there where the Sun the land and the water have united to favor our blooming the cult men devote to us begins in spring when the Oasis witness an explosion of colors emotions and fragrances that the women welcome with you relations and incense on the top of the male palm trees the flower in need of reproduction lets its bathe explode freeing the pollen that irresistible attracts the bees our lifelong Alice the time has come to free the male flower and to prepare it with reverence for our fertilization men climb our long trunks to insert the pollen bearing twigs into our influences repeating the same movement since time immemorial at that time we bend down to them as a sign of recognition and we let them drink from the very shell of our flowers even before our fruits begin to gain weight men need to take care that our clusters are reduced allowing us to regulate our future yield as soon as we are freed from this surplus of weight we prepare ourselves for other actions of thinning and pruning to which we are entitled as the Queen's of the Oasis the great care men devote to us allows us to aerate our fruits so that they can gain in size all that remains for men now is to free our clusters in order to enable them to hang from us the female date-palms by means of their own weight few geisha's moments of happiness because at the beginning of the summer our enemies try to weave their webs inside our bunches this is.
why men must remove the stalks left over from the last harvest and the dry palm leaves from the lower part of our foliage to deprive our predators from a favorable backdrop after that they pick up the palm leaves that they had cut before to use them for different purposes nor will they forget to pick up the dates that have already fallen to the ground in this operation our close friend and companion the donkey takes an active part men know very well that our fruits at a certain stage of maturity might be damaged by the autumn rain or by insects which cause them to fall down and burst that's why when our dates start to ripen men come equipped with mosquito nets that are used to protect us they attach them firmly to our trunks verifying that our bunches are hanging freely they then insert them into the mosquito nets taking care not to let our dates fall to the ground they make sure the mosquito nets are hermetically sealed finally they check their work meticulously to guarantee that we can breathe with satisfaction with our head in the Sun and our feet in the water the water. which is intimately linked to the sweat of men his traditional system of management and distribution was implemented in the 13th century by in Shabbat a Tunisian scholar to whom we owe our past glory but as our Oasis grew larger over the years men were obliged to apply other water management systems and to even use geothermal water from the heart of the earth drainage channels have been dug to facilitate that the surplus of water can drain off towards the shots these broad areas of sand and salt where Jin's and marriages are dancing around the month of May small pieces of fruit called zoth appear around June July our dates which are still greenish in color grow and are then named black they then turn progressively yellow we call this sage Basava in September they start to soften and are then called Weber finally around October/November the dates are ready to be picked but right before the final stages of maturity we start to send out impatient requests that echo all over the Oasis then men rush to our feet humble and full of hope to harvest our fruits fruits of so much patience and love.
After that our bunches are hang over easels where a first selection of the best fruits take place to celebrate this happy occasion families come along to the packing stations where they are weighed identified checked and stored at a low temperature they are later packed in various packages complying with traceability and consumers requirements example organic bio dynamic Fair-trade and according to the international quality standards and references such as global gap ISO ifs and Bias i the best fruits are then taken to the port their ships coming from all over the world open their holds in order to dispatch them to all continents our real jewel the noble dead Latin or the finger of light unique in its color and taste.
we are indispensable for many reasons first our lives are used to ward off the sand thus preventing the Oasis from being overwhelmed by the Jun's they are also used to craft numerous basket-work items the fiber lump growing on our slender trunks provides extremely robust ropes that are used for a great variety of purposes our sap extracted from our very heart is given through the men who can avail themselves of it to quench their thirst after all they've done for our sake as for the wood of the stems it is used to roof houses and to manufacture doors and furniture our fruit stones are used for the preparation of coffee.
whereas our flesh coated in chocolate is served to strengthen the friendship throughout the Oasis so wherever you are whoever you are you should always remember to thank us the Queen's of the Oasis
