I tell all our customers not to feed there palms for 3-months after we install them. That gives the palm a chance to get established in the ground, if you feed a palm to soon you can do serious damage to the tree. I feed my palms the 1st week in March, we are usually past the chance of any hard freeze by then. Then I feed them again in July, and then the last time the 1st week in November. Do not feed them during December, January, and February as it will push new growth out and if we have a freeze, that can burn or kill the new growth. Follow the instructions on the bag, with Lesco 8-2-12 you can't go wrong.
