About three years ago, the Haifa municipality purchased palm trees and planted them on King Shlomo Street. Today they were cut down due to the damage of the red palm weevil.

The Haifa Municipality informed Haifa:
These are four diseased palm trees, they are being taken down in order to prevent danger and the spread of the disease. This is the red palm weevil, a disease that affects trees throughout the country.
The municipality uses advanced methods and despite the plague that is affecting the whole country (the red weevil) managed to save quite a number of trees.
