A few years ago the city of Pasadena changed trees in the center of the Arroyo Parkway, the city street at the end of the 110 freeway. Out went the old, tall leafy trees and in came palms. Date palms to be more precise.
Now, every year these palms produce huge amounts of dates, which, sadly, go uneaten by humans. I think birds and whatever other creatures can climb up to the top may feast on them.
