In Asia the fruits are harvested by hand; this process requires about 1500 person-hours/ha. [48] Fruit harvest is the most time consuming operation in growing H. rhamnoides. The relatively small fruit size, short pedicel, force required to pull off each fruit, the density of fruit on the branch, and the thorniness of the plant, are the ...
They grow for a short time period between Rabi and Kharif crops, mainly from March to June. These crops are mainly grown in the summer season during a period called the Zaid crop season. They require warm dry weather as major growth period and longer day length for flowering. Some summer months and rainy season is required.
A samara is sometimes called a key [2] and is often referred to as a wingnut, helicopter, whirlybird, whirligig, polynose, or, in the north of England, a spinning jenny. [6] During the autumn months, they are a popular source of amusement for people that enjoy tossing them in the air and watching them spin to the ground.
Most cultivars are parthenocarpic (setting seedless fruit without pollination). The fragrant flowers are pollinated by insects and wind. Fruiting typically begins when the tree is about 6 years old. The fruit is round or oval and usually orange-yellow, sometimes bluish, and from 2 to 6 cm (3 ⁄ 4 to 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) in diameter.
For most people, summer is all about hanging out by the pool with a great book and copious amounts of sunscreen. But if you’re food-obsessed (hi, same), summer means getting your hands on all ...
Two types of raspberry are available for commercial and domestic cultivation; the summer-bearing type produces an abundance of fruit on second-year canes (floricanes) within a relatively short period in midsummer, and double or "everbearing" plants, which also bear some fruit on first-year canes (primocanes) in the late summer and fall, as well ...
After they are fertilized, they bear obloid fruits 50–60 cm long by 10–25 cm wide; young fruits are covered with soft fuzzy hairs which eventually disappear [13] and develop a waxy coating that gives the fruit a long shelf life of up to a year. [12] The melon may grow as large as 80 cm in length.
The glycemic index (GI) for different varieties of the date palm fruit is in the range of 38–71, with 53 on average, [36] [38] indicating dates are a relatively low GI food source. [39] The glycemic load (GL) value of date palm fruits, calculated for a serving size of three fruits (weighting 27 grams) is 9 on average, indicating that dates ...
