Tree pollination

Our trees being pollinated so that they can bear fruit! Dates!
(NB it’s not one of our guys up there )
Trees are either male (pollen) or female (flowers) which can be naturally pollinated (wind, bees etc) but proximity of male trees to females is crucial. I don't think birds & bees are very attracted to the flowers so therefore hand pollination is pretty standard practice I believe.
Second picture is from above and shows the line of the three. There’s avenue of two trees that stretches from our land and beyond (originating from a big place a few neighbours along) At some point in history the land would have been owned by one person! By the way fun view of the horses too.
