The date palm fruit is grown in long strands hanging from the upper branches of the trees, and might be harvested from September through early December. They are harvested from palm trees and dried out in the sun and stored for the wintertime once they supply food for a family as well assist herds of camels, goats and sheep. Date forests have been tended by the same family for generations. There are high transportation costs to get dates from oasis to ports where they could be shipped.

Date palms have to be individually pollinated and the fruits have to be picked by hand. These tasks have traditionally been done by men who use ropes to climb the tree like lumber jacks or by young boys limber enough to shimmy up the trees barefoot. The scales on the trunk, stick out enough that can be used as foot holds. These days the dates are often harvested using cherry pickers and mechanical buckets like those installing telephone lines.
