Palm Tree Food Formulated for Palms and Nothing Else!

Treat your palms special! Palm Tree Food gives palms many of the nutrients that keep them from yellowing.

This is from the University of Arizona on growing palms in the desert:

Fertilization:
Palms look considerably better if they have adequate nutrients. Fertilizing established palms is one of the important ways to keeping them vigorous and attractive. In Arizona landscapes, nitrogen is the most commonly deficient nutrient; when it is lacking, older fronds turn pale green or yellow. Many palms in certain soils also suffer from potassium deficiency (yellowing of older leaves, including midrib). Some trees show Magnesium deficiencies (yellow band on older leaves, with central vein remaining green). In all cases preventative fertilization is best, since the discolored leaves don’t recover.

Lush green growth will result from using a “palm special” fertilizer that contains about 3 times as much nitrogen and potassium as phosphorous (the first and third numbers on the bag are approximately 3 times the middle number), plus Mg and micronutrients. Look for a product that supplies 10-20% N, 5%P, and 10-20% K (roughly equal to N), and also includes 1-3% Mg, .5% Mn , .5% Fe, and S, Zn, Cu, and B (micronutrients that are often lacking). Apply this product to palms after their first establishment summer, following directions on the label for the tree’s size. Spread the product under the canopy (avoiding the area next to the trunk) in mid spring and again in early summer. Water thoroughly to the 2 ft depth.

Arizona's Best Palm Tree Food contains potassium, sulfur, magnesium, iron, zinc and manganese specially formulated for palms. Use 1/2 lb of fertilizer for each inch of trunk diameter. Apply it to the basin and water it in. If you are using drip irrigation, apply the fertilizer 6 inches below the emitters with a shovel and water it in. 1/2 lb of fertilizer is equal to a little over one cup.
