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.”

Well, that's great, pay more and feel good for the 8-2-12. I have 6 big palms, tons of smaller (ie: European, Sugar, etc) and do the work myself. They all have done great for 10+ years now
Below a palm tree nursery says 13-3-13 (-4 magnesium) is a fine ratio, which is what Home Depot sells in the Lesco
