[Rons Landscaping]

I tell all our customers to fertilize their palms March, July, and November. You do not want to feed your palms or any plants for that matter now during the winter months. Even if the weather is warm out DO NOT FEED ANYTHING.Fertilizing now will just force new growth, and if we get a cold spell the new growth coming out of the plant or trees is very susceptible to damage. ( DON'T FEED ANYTHING UNTIL THE 1ST WEEK OF MARCH ). We are usually safe here in central Florida by then from any hard freezes. Also if you know we have a chance of getting a frost or hard freeze turn your irrigation on the day before and water your entire yard, that will put moisture in the ground which will help warm the soil. Then shut ( YOUR TIMER OFF FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS ). Our cold spells here usually last just 3 days or so. After the bad weather has past, then turn your irrigation back on to it's regular watering schedule. Hope this will help answer your fertilizing questions.
