Yes, you are right. The palm fertilizer will be safe to use on the lawn. People often use it lieu of other lawn fertilizer when they have palms in the landscape.

P.S.
For those who have newly transplanted palms, keep in mind that the root ball circumference will be smaller than the drip line until the palm becomes established and the roots begin to grow outward.
Ask your landscaping company or look for reliable internet research as to when to begin any fertilization program if the palms are newly planted.
