Ripe dates ready for harvest are protected from hungry birds with paper bags that cover the fruit hanging from the tops of tall date palm trees in the Coachella Valley near Palm Springs, California, USA. Date palms were brought to the area in the 1890s, and this desert valley now provides 90 percent of the world's crop of dates. A few of the 350 date growers in the Coachella Valley have opened their date farms to visitors for tours and tastings of the delicious fruit.
