Palm Feeding
I`ve just got hold of a Windmill Palm and was wondering what feed to use.
I have been reading many articles regarding feed from using a high nitrogen feed to manure. Any advice would be grateful, thanks. |

Planted in the ground Wait until you are sure the palm is indeed established. If you feed it too soon, you might burn bruised roots. I believe I have seen special palm fertilizer in some stores. I have a potted palm that I feed with the same house-brand 27-0-6 lawn food that I use on most of my garden. Since it is in a pot with constrained roots, I feed it very, very lightly 2-3 times a year. In the ground, you can feed your palm more generously once a year (late spring) if you spread the fertilizer in a solid circle that extends 2-3 feet from the base of the trunk. -- David E.
