Fertilizing your palm trees

Palm Tree Fertilization

When determining the frequency of fertilization applications you must first determine whether you want your palm to maintain a good appearance or maintain a healthy appearance and grow rapidly. A homeowner is normally concerned with the appearance of their palm. This can be accomplished with two fertilizer applications a year (one in the fall and one in the spring). Adding a third or even fourth application will push the palm to grow rapidly. This is done in the nursery and tree farm industry to make sellable palm trees faster.
