Skin detachment in Date (Phoenix dactylifera) fruits is a major commercial issue around the world. Skin separation is produced by the cultivars Barhee and Majhul. There are a number of Date types that do not split the skin. Two date kinds were compared to explore the phenomenon of skin separation: Dayri, which has no skin separation, and Barhee, which has severe skin separation. The research focuses on both the mechanical and anatomical characteristics of the fruit's skin. The skin of Barhee fruits has been found to be less flexible and hard, resisting artificial stretching force and tending to form folders while detaching from inner soft tissue, whereas the skin of Dairy fruits exhibits the opposite characteristics. One of the reasons for this trait is the consecutive linearity of the epidermal cells in Barhee and circular order in Dairy. More discrepancies in skin features support the final finding of significant skin separation in Barhee and nil in Dayri. In the example at hand, the agro-mechanical operations of irrigation, nutritional regime, and fruit management while on the tree are of secondary importance.
