If you run over to Walmarts and look at the ingredients of PALM fertilizer, you will see it is mostly magnesium sulfate. If you run over to the pharmacy and look at Epsom Salts, it is also magnesium sulfate and probably half the price. So buy a large bag of Epsom Salts and spread 2 lbs 4 times a year beginning at the dripline ( the outermost reach of the branches to no closer to the trunk that 12 inches. Sit back and watch your palm thrive. Mine nearly doubled in girth in a year ( sorta like I do).
