Apply 1.5 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. of canopy every two months from March to Sept.
Broadcast the fertilizer out under the canopy to the drip line; Sylvester roots can spread 50 ft.
Don't buy fertilizers with oxides. , can cause potassium deficiency. Don't use iron oxide or magnesium secrete. No cow manure or fertilizer stakes. Palms need boron.
You can use palm fertilizer (8-2-12) on turf and shrubs, as well. If using on shrubs, apply March, July, September. Do not use any other fertilizer on the grass near the palm."
