The brand is not important, what is in the bag is. There is nothing wrong with Lesco, but if you really break it down, different palm trees would have a different optimum mixture of nutrients, just like any other plant.
As long as there is a trace of boron, at least 2-3% Magnesium AND Manganese, a bit of iron and other micros, 10ish-2ish-10ish with the macros...your palm tree doesn't care who's label is on the bag, or how much you paid for it.
