Its not my problem. Its my buddies, and this photo I posted is from another forum member, on another forum, who is having the same problem.
. Weve both been growing for over 40 years. I grew my 1st in 1972.
This aint my 1st rodeo.
SEE Phytoplasma Infection. This is very high on the list.
Ever deal with that???
Phytoplasmas are obligate bacterial parasites of plant phloem tissue and of the insect vectors that are involved in their plant-to-plant transmission. Phytoplasmas were discovered in 1967 by Japanese scientists who termed them mycoplasma-like organisms (MLOs).[2] Since their discovery, phytoplasmas have resisted all attempts at in vitro culture in any cell-free medium; routine cultivation in an artificial medium thus remains a major challenge. Although phytoplasmas have recently been reported to be grown in a specific artificial medium, experimental repetition has yet to be reported.[3] Phytoplasmas are characterized by the lack of a cell wall, a pleiomorphic or filamentous shape, a diameter normally less than 1 μm, and a very small genome.
Phytoplasmas are pathogens of agriculturally important plants, including coconut, sugarcane, and sandalwood, in which they cause a wide variety of symptoms ranging from mild yellowing to death. Phytoplasmas are most prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. They are transmitted from plant to plant by vectors (normally sap-sucking insects such as leafhoppers) in which they both survive and replicate.

Some plants just throw off some funky looking leaf mutations from time to time. Remove some of the old tired fan leaves so light reaches more budding sites. I see plenty of healthy normal growth.
