In South Florida, Palm Trees are very common. There are many reasons why they are commonly found on properties:

– offer great landscape and provide shade

– improve home value

– help withstand wind during hurricanes

– offer privacy

– produce coconuts

– and more

In order for palm trees to grow to their fullest potential its important they receive all their proper nutrients. The three macronutrients needed for palm trees are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These trees can naturally grow with rain water and sunlight but will not have the nutrients it needs prevent fungal infections, yellowing/discoloration, diseases, etc. Once the tree is compromised with one of these issues the health of the palm tree can rapidly decline. 

If the health of the tree declines enough it may need to be removed, which can become costly. Which is why we recommend routine Palm Tree Fertilization services to prevent these issues and help save you money.

Liquid Drenching Method

This application uses liquid fertilizer to drench the base of the palm tree. The fertilizer can be mixed with insecticide and other products to help promote growth, fight off insects, and defend against diseases. The liquid drenching which can be seen in the picture above is an example of the liquid drenching process. The liquids soak directly into the soil and roots for effective absorption.

Tree Injection Method

An injection treatment is also an effective way to get nutrients directly into the palm tree. This treatment is unique because it provides nutrients from within the tree instead having the palm tree abosrb the nutrients from the outside. This method provides much faster results and is sometimes the only treatment available depending on your location and landscape. If your palm tree base is close to a water source this is the safest and preferred treatment.
