The Whitefly mainly attacks the fronds; which on my palms were the lower, older growth... But wow, what a coconut fest goes on each and every time anyone trims their coco trees or mango trees... and they're all so very common; all over the place.

Reminds of the cow pastures as a kid on Long Island every time the cars would pull up to load up the buckets in the trunks of their cars.. or after a heavy rain down here when catfish are jumping out of the waterways on to the roadways..
