Al-Kharmah date palm inspection triggers debate
The Alkhurma Province has witnessed a rare phenomenon in date palm cultivation. During the current season, many third flushes have appeared on the date palms, following the usual first flush and the second flush known as "Kharfi." This phenomenon is notable because, typically, date palms produce two flushes per year—one during the regular season and the second mid-summer. However, the emergence of a third flush consumes the trees' stored resources and raises concerns among farmers, who monitor the removal of excess flushes to maintain the health of their trees. Additionally, farmer Mubarak Alsubaie, who owns experimental farms, discussed the possibility of a variety called "Hilali" date palms, which differ in their fruiting time. He also shared his experience in cultivating peanuts, which has shown limited success, and he plans to expand its cultivation in the upcoming season.
