Description

Date palm trees [link] are found all over the Middle East.
Since they are easy to look after and provide great shade, you'll find rows upon rows of these trees by the roadside.
The trees also greatly help reduce pollution as they absorb most of the exhaust emissions from passing vehicles.
The public is therefore discouraged from consuming the fruit from these roadside trees for obvious reasons.

Come August till October, hundreds of ripened dates start dropping on the ground and roads,
causing accidents and somewhat 'sticky' situations.
This is where these guys come in. Their job description is plain and simple; they 'trim' the trees.
Easier said than done.


Temperature: 43°C - 109.4°F - 316°K
