If the pollen is successful in germinating, it will develop into a date palm with fruit of a red and yellowish colour. Depending on the type of date palm and its region, the fruit will change and be either dry or wet, but can rot if left to dry too long. Wet dates grow in hot, dry countries with little air, and their ripening period changes requiring multiple harvests.
The book also includes a chapter on lexicographer's sayings about palm trees, and palm trees in Sudan.
