My question is I thought that fertilizer should be applied during March, June and September.

thank you.
I use only Lesco granular March, June, and September, keep it 18" away from the trunk, apply a heavy layer from there out. Fill in the 18" area in March with Black Cow covered with bark chips for extra potassium, have pruned late Feb., or early March, don't cut off the yellow fronds until they turn brown. Mine have been in our landscape for 6 years now and they are always beautiful. Also be careful not to over water them.
