You can eat the fruit. I'm not sure how many years it takes to get fruit. I purchased my tree 11 months ago. It is thriving very well, look great. I have had blooms but no fruit.

You will be able to eat the fruit. My first year owning the tree(got it in april), it produced about 40 flowers. Due to size of the tree all the fruit aborted. Next year should produce fruit.

The net weight of the food is 1lb. 10 oz. Unopened the nuts could easily last a year. Once opened the freshness of nuts can be maintained up to 6 months in a airtight container or bag in the refrigerator. The fruit unopened could easily last 2 years. Opened but kept in airtight bag or container would maintain freshness for a year. I don't recommend putting the fruit in the refrigerator because it will get hard and lose that chewy soft texture. I hope this response helps.

I just received mine earlier this summer, so I don't expect fruit for 18 months or so. It'll stay potted, since I live in Michigan, and spend winters indoors. I've heard that in tropical areas, with year'round or nearly so, growing seasons, papayas can fruit in 12 months or less. My previous TR Hovey papaya was eventually planted in a large 20 inch diameter pot, and grew to be about 5 ft, tall in that pot. They can live 5-10 years or more.

A looooong time. I don't know exactly but I would guess they are edible for at least a couple years.

It might be tough. If you do the best you can, you will probably be okay. You just won't get quite as much from the fruit.

We've kept them on the self for more then 1 year. I think the cans say a 1 1\2 to 2 years. If you mean in the fridge after you open it, I would eat it within 2 weeks.

Hello, Ms. Abaker,I bought just two of these bags, and most of the dates were moist enough. Therefore I ate them the way they were.As for the few dry ones, they are still edible as such; more chewing is needed. If you want to bring them to their natural state just after cropping, no chance. My mother used to keep dried fruits in water (especially prunes and peaches), for a few hours, but they never returned to their natural texture and consistency.IMO, children will enjoy the dates the way they are. I still do, despite my age.

Not long, because these are so tasty you eat them all before you get to that point. I am not sure though, as I did actually use them all within a week.

No, there is no need; but once you open it, you have 6 month to consume it.

No you do not have to use bananas. They just work the best. All other fruit needs to be thawed for at LEAST 15 mins before using.

Or for longer.It's not good to eat only this.You have to switch between bottles.In the beginning it lasted me 30 days, now it lasts me 2 months, because I try to vary my diet.

You can, but you will not like the taste. Eat it with cranberry or orange juice, it goes down a bit better.

I received my tree last summer so it was too late in the season to produce any fruit. Now 7 months later it has really grown and matured and I expect fruit this spring and summer. I also learned that, yes, it is good to plant this tree in the ground in the spring.

It is usually 1.5 year to 2 year from now. So you will have plenty of time to consume. Thanks

It's hard to say. As long as the moisture content is low enough, and factoring in the fact that the husks are eliminated, I would guess at least a year. If they are kept cool and in an airtight container I would suspect they could be kept for years and still be edible. I plan on eating mine up in about 15 months. I eat 50 grams a day, everyday, and I will bet the first ones will taste every bit as good as the last ones. In other words, as long as they don't mold, they will be just fine.
