Abstract

A number of date palm trees in the districts of Al-Jofra and Ain-Zara showed frond malformations. These malformations consisted of the leaves being wavy and the leaflets and spines having a zigzag appearance. It was noticed in some cases that the leaflets were profusely stacked on both sides of the wavy fronds and the spines were twisted.
