Queen Palms..best fertilzer.
 
I have 3 sizable queen palms in my backyard that I would like to fertilize.
I have seen and used the "spikes" available at HD, but wonder if there is
perhaps a more effective method/product.
I though perhaps mixing up a dose of something in a 5 gallon bucket and
soaking the ground with it, but what to use?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Brandon

Hello,
Queen palms (Syagrus romanzoffianum) as most palms require a 3.1.3
formulation plus minor elements especially magnesium, (Mg). Get controlled
release as opposed to soluable, this costs more but is worth it. Queens can
also suffer from 'frizzle top' which will require extra manganese (Mn) if
this condition is present.

hth -_- how

no NEWS is good

Thank you for the information. My palms suffer a bit from the frizzle top
you describe.
Should home depot have something that will be sufficient?
A manganese supplement perhaps?
Is the time release you speak of the "spikes" that are sold? Is there a
different better method of application? Perhaps a granule that can be
broadcast around the dripline of the tree?
These are within a "desert" landscape, the ground is covered with 1/2
crushed granite about 4 inches deep.
Thanks again
Brandon
