Wait with your first feeding until March by then we are usually past the chance of any freezing temps here in central Florida. We recommend using Lesco 8-2-12 fertilizer for all your Palms, this fertilizer works very well, you can find this fertilizer at John Deere Landscaping in Leesburg. I would also like to take this time to thank all of our customers, for letting us make their landscaping projects come true for them.

University of Florida's research shows that applying palm fertilizer after October increases chances of problems in palm trees. The months are March, July and September (the absolute latest being October). I am including a link to fertilizing palms in Sumter County which was written by extension horticulturist, Jim Davis.
