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

thank you.
I did a lot of online research, and the experts that weren't trying to sell me something (AG departments at FL universities, etc) all recommended specific trace nutrients that aren't in a lot of the palm food at garden centers and big box stores. Lesco is slow release, so it doesn't leach through the sandy soil as fast (which is why the other brands have to be reapplied so often).
