When feeding your Palms and plants put the feed out on the drip line of the trees and bushes, that is where the trees and plants are getting most of their feed from.

Do not put the feed close to the trunk of the trees, or close to the base of the bushes, it will hurt them more then help them.
Your advice on WHERE to apply this Lesco 8-2-12 Palm & Tropical Ornamental Fertilizer ...
.................................................. ............................is NOT what is recommended by Lesco.

The label of the Lesco Fertilizer bag states......

DIRECTIONS FOR APPLICATION:
For Palms, Trees or large shrubs apply at the rate of 1 1/2 pounds
per 100 square feet..
Spread evenly on the ground around the plant....
..........from the OUTER ends of the of the fronds or canopy INWARD TO THE TRUNK....

Because THIS specific product contains polycoated slow release ingredients...
.................................................. ...... it is OK to apply from Canopy To the Trunk.
