Use Lesco 8-2-12 that is the best fertilizer out there for Palm trees. This feed works very well on your bushes also, it can be purchased at John Deere Landscape in Leesburg. They are on the corner of Griffin and Thomas St. 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. If you are putting the fertilizer on gravel just spread it around the trees or plants then take a rake and just move the gravel around a little, it does not have to be raked in all the way. When it rains or your irrigation runs, it will water all the feed in. When using Lesco 8-2-12 you will see a major change in your trees and plants, it is a very good fertilizer, you will see a change in the foliage color with in a month or so. Hope this helps answer your fertilizer questions.
Thank you... We saw a change in our palms within a week. Good information.
