Must be mated so that the fruit does not fall out before cooking
So far, date palms that grow in Indonesia rarely bear fruit perfectly. However, This one date tree can bear fruit perfectly enough to ripen. So far, date palms have grown and developed in their native areas, Middle East, dry climate. In Indonesia, There are several areas that are suitable for planting dates until they bear perfect fruit. Date palms are a type of plant that can grow and develop quite well.
Only, not all date palms that grow can bear fruit perfectly. So far, Date palms in Indonesia are only used to beautify the garden in the yard or office. It is rare for a date palm tree that is kept to bear fruit until it is ripe so that it is suitable for consumption. Nah, date tree belonging to the owner of the Yas min Banyuwangi Hospital, dr. Bakarman, this is different. The date palm tree belonging to the surgeon specialist was planted right in the yard of his private house on Jalan Letkol Istiqlah, Banyuwangi.
The date palm was planted by one of Dr. Bakarman, Ach mad Syauqi, five years ago from the date palm seeds he ate. The owner of the date palm did not think that the plant would bear fruit. The first fruit appears when the date palm is only one year old. At that time the fruit was only three bunches. When it bears fruit for the first time, not everything can ripen. Only part of it is perfectly ripe, and others fall before maturity "Alhamdulillah, one year old has already borne fruit.
We were surprised, even though they are not given special treatment,"said Syauqi. After fruiting in the first year, the tree does not bear fruit again in the following year. Wa lau does not bear fruit, but the tree is still maintained like any other tree in the yard of the big house facing south. In the year 2013 This tree is five years old. At this five years old, the date palm is back to fruition. This time, the fruit is thicker than the fruit in the first year.
The fruit in the first year is only three bunches. Nah, fruit in the fifth year more, Yes, it's reached seven bunches. Learn from the experience in the first year, when it bears fruit again, now special maintenance is being carried out so that the fruit does not fall out. The fruit first appeared in September 2012 then. If counted since the fruit appeared, The dates are now eight months old. “Alhamdulillah, now the fruit is yellowed and almost ripe,"That's Syauqi's tour.
This dr. Bakarman invites agricultural experts from the Department of Agriculture, Forestry, and Plantation (PKP) Eko Mulyanto to treat the date palms. Goal, so that the seven bunches of dates do not fall out before they are ripe. A few months ago Eko had treated the tree. “We have given organic biophosphate nutrition. The nutritional benefits, fruit does not fall before ripe,”Pepper Eco. Apart from doing treatment, Eko also researched the type of date.
Dates planted in the yard of dr. Bakarman is a date that is currently being developed in New Zealand. "It's not a date from Makkah,He said. Date palms are plants that must be crossed or mated. Dr's date palm. The Bakarman fruit will fall out if it is not crossed with a male date. Dates that are not crossed will produce seedless dates. Fruit without seeds will easily fall off before ripe. The loss is triggered by the absence of nutrients and embryos from the tree trunk to the fruit.
Trees cannot provide nutrients to fruit because there are no seeds. “Nutrition enters through seeds. Because there are no seeds, nutrition delivery is cut off,he explained. Because there is no nutritional intake, eventually the fruit falls off before ripening. So as not to fall, must be given an embryo from outside. "The solution so that the dates do not fall out even if they are not crossed, we have found in the research",He said. If at any time there are parties who will develop date palms, the way to deal with hair loss already exists. The biophosphate that we treat into dates belongs to dr. Bakarman uses organic, not chemicals,he said. (radar)
