Lesco makes many types of fertilizer. Lesco 8-2-12-(4 ) is the one developed for palm trees in our area and soil types. I have seen Lesco fertilizers at Home Depot and they were a different analysis of ingredients. The palm fertilizer, 8-2-12-Lesco has long acting forms of ingredients and it has the appropriate amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, boron, etc. Having the name Lesco on the bag is not enough. You need to make sure it says 8-2-12 (has 4% magnesium) The new bag says on the label “Lesco 8-2-12 Opti. Lesco Palm and Tropical Ornamental Fertilizer, This product Contains 100% Poly Plus.”
