Some fellow with a hachet really went to work on these palm trees along our road. Yesterday they were fully "fronded". Today they stand as burnt out candles. My heart breaks every time I see the aftermath of an Egyptian pruner. Most times the tree survives; but sometimes, like our lovely jacaranda tree in Cairo, their torturous cutting kills the tree. The bits of new growth left as 'wicks' on these trees provide some hope that they will rebound.
They look like asparagus!
