PICTURESQUE DATE GROVE
Indio, California
FS-1277
Dates are harvested in Coachella Valley during
the early Fall months and the men work from
tall ladders, mobile steel towers, and sometimes
from platforms built out from the palm's trunk.
Date clusters do not ripen all at the same time
and each palm is picked about eight different
times.
