A '''date''' is a [[fruit]] of the [[prune]] family that grows on [[palm]] trees. It is indigenous to the [[Middle East]] and [[Mediterranean]] regions and enjoys a hot, dry climate. The tree naturally fruits twice a year, though with artificial [[pollination]] it can bear fruit year round. The fruit are not picked until they have shrivelled, browned, and sweetened from their plump, green, sour form.
