My Sylvester Palm was dying due to unknown fungus or insect.. was told 50/50 it would survive. immediately gave a magnesium base palm fertilizer at base of palm, minimum 15min. of watering 3X weekly. Hosed an insecticide / fungicide into crown of tree (soak in) 8 weeks later seems to be doing much better.

The county gardener is available 8am-3pm Mondays from Gov. Offices near Pinellas/466A
