Florida Wholesale Palms - Fertilizing Palms for the Spring Season

A Quality Plant is expecting this year to be a record breaking year for wholesale palms sales! Each of the last five years has been better than the last. I am glad that AQP planted thousands of palms each of those years to keep up with the demand.

A Quality Plant has just finished fertilizing our palms. Beating the rain has been the trick. All of our Sylvester Palms in the front field got 8 pounds of fertilizer two weeks ago and have had three healthy rains. We fertilized the other two fields today and we are getting a bunch of rain right now! I love the rain after fertilizing. It will be getting pretty cold on Friday in Central Florida. That I can skip!

Wholesale Palms are the primary business at A Quality Plant. It is important that we grow high quality wholesale palms at affordable prices. The faster you can get the palm to that point the better in a market like this. I have never regretted dropping extra fertilizer on our palms. We have upped the quantity of fertilizer per palm each year with great results.

Homeowners will want to fertilize their palms with Palm Fertilizer at least twice a year. Don't be shy about it. Sylvester Palms with trunk need it to grow healthy and robust. Growers should be fertilizing three to four times a year. A Quality Plant will fertilize all of our Sylvester Palms, Canary Palms, Medjool Palms, Queen Palms, Pindo Palms, Foxtail Palms, Royal Palms, Reclinata Palms, Roebelenii Palms and others four times a year.

Palm Fertilizer will come in many different formulas like 12-6-12 or 10-2-14. What is important in palm fertilizer? Micro-nutrients. Boron, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese...these guys are really important to palms. Palm Special Fertilizers will always have them.

Good luck growing palms!
