CHAPTER V: DATE PALM PROPAGATION (8735 words) |
 | The offshoots develop from axillary buds on the trunk of the mother plant and consequently the fruit produced will be of the same quality as the mother palm and ensures uniformity of produce. |
| Offshoots are mainly produced in a limited number (20 to 30 at most) during the early life of the palm (10 to 15 years from the date of its planting) depending on the variety and on prior fertilisation treatment, irrigation and earthing up around the trunks, (Nixon and Carpenter, 1978). |
| When a date palm is crowded with offshoots, only 5 to 6 larger offshoots could be left, considering the tree's equilibrium, and the other smaller ones could either be totally removed if not needed in the future, or have their leaves cut back close to the bud to retard their growth. |

| Offshoot began their reign of New England in February of 2002. |
| In early September of 2003 offshoot released their first EP, titled: “Reversal of Fortune.” The album is backed by their record label, Roadside Attraction Records, Inc. The album is filled with mind blowing, emotional lyrics alongside eardrum shaking vocals, as well as unthinkable finger flying guitar riffs that will blow you away. |
| Following offshoot’s return of their first east coast tour this past fall, fans from as far as 1500 miles away have been expressing sheer desire, for the band to make another return to the stage. |
