In answer to an earlier question,

I was originally told palm roots grow in a ball, but in doing online research about proper fertilization, I discovered that (over time) palm roots spread like other trees and extend out to the tree canopy line, sometimes beyond. I learned I should spread the palm fertilizer accordingly.
