Date Work Reveals Libyan Wahi Origins in Salton Valley
A 1918 expedition by Prof. S. C. Mason traced the Wahi date variety from Dakhla to the Salton basin. The Libyan desert hosts 250,000 trees, and traders rename it as the Saldy in transit to markets via Alexandria and New York. The U.S. Department of Agriculture notes the Wahi's prolific offshoots and long suitability for ranking with Deglet Noor.
