Don't agree with you fertilizer regime, I go by Jim Davis at Fl State

How does it contradict UF? The tree doesn't know what brand the fertilizer is. What book published that the UF uses to teach horticulture did I contradict?
Does my method actually contradict a UF horticulture teaching ( for getting a degree ) or just Jim Davis? Maybe... something Jim said was taken out of context. Hard to say with hearsay.
I explained how I came to use this 'fertilizer regime' in my post, 3 of my personal mentors are internationally known horticulturists. Horticulture degree teachings from more than one college , and the results of my own experiments over the last 30 years growing palms. You asked "who", but not for a bibliography of the books. I learn from books often. They are more easily accessed than people.
Sorry, I only posted to help. As I said, there are many paths to healthy palms.
I know my methods work because I use them, and watch them work, it isn't hearsay. And they provide the nutrients the tree needs.
I don't claim to know everything or that my methods and brands I use are the only ones that work, and I doubt Jim Davis does either.
