I can't confirm this 100%, but I believe it takes 2 hours for the first date to appear after fertilizing it. If you check, after the initial 2 hours, there will only be one date.

Dates are a tasty fruit produced by Date Palm trees. They can be cooked in a Kitchen as an ingredient in meals.
Before a Date Palm will produce dates, the tree must first be fertilized by applying 1 saltpeter. After a while, a number of dates will ripen, which can be harvested by anyone. The tree must be re-fertilized with saltpeter to produce more dates.
By order of the "Courtious [sic] Resource Collection Act" law passed by Egypt, you cannot gather dates from a Date Palm unless you are carrying saltpeter. Upon gathering, 1 saltpeter is automatically used to re-fertilize the tree.
Observations
I've got date yields as high as 17 from one tree at a time. However, yields of one or two are more common. If there is a pattern, I have been unable to determine it. JulianJaynes 14:32, 19 April 2009 (EST)

I was making a circuit of the same 6 date trees about every hour and a half (real time) and some trees would have immature dates and some would have dates ready for picking. Yield was anywhere between 1 and 20, even with minimal time between fertilizing and harvesting. -Detour, Sept 2010.
