Fertilizing Palm Trees 

This is how you RU-vid...to the point, articulate, clear. Great video! Good advice.

This guy is the palm whisperer believe him only

Always learn tons from this guy.

He is a wealth of Palm knowledge 👍🏼 🌴

Well damn! I found Dave just in time as I bought 2 queens today. Glad to know Dave is doing this in the greatest county in the world, DUUUVAL! My man knows his palms and I’ll be back for more. Go Jags!

This guy is amazing. Earth Works better be taking good care of him. He has a wealth of knowledge.

BIG THANKS for the information coming from a Jacksonville resident 👍🏾👍🏾

Amazed by his knowledge. Truly inspiring

Great content, you are super knowledgeable. Add more tags to your content specific to the video. Palm pruning, specific names of the palms you cover, get really specific in those tags. Thank you for making this. I just bought a property with a ton of palms on it and this video is excellent. You are awesome.

This guy knows his STUFF.

Thanks David. This was very helpful. Enjoy your videos!!

10-10-10 I throw it around the tree a couple times a year and my trees jump like crazy!!

I have The cold Hardy Windmill Palms planted at my place in Halifax Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 I over winter for 4 months during the cold season

This guy should be a professor! He's awesome

Than you David. I really enjoy your informative videos.

Great video, however you might want to give people a heads up with the AG spray since it's got iron in it. Overspray can stain like the dickens if you get it on concrete or block. I actually just bought a gallon of the stuff.

Hi David, your videos are very helpful! I was able to save my pygmy palm by applying one of the fertilizers you show in your video.

David, your delivery of content is off the charts--8-2-12. Do you advocate staining truck?

Impressed again!

Thank you David .great video .

Thanks David! Always appreciate your informational videos :)

Thanks for info regarding potassium & magnesium needs for my palm tree.

Solid video, brother! Thanks. Texas recently got hit hard with single temp temps. Your info. is a life saver.

Nice content, thank you not many people on youtube know palm as good as you

Thanks David always good info from you appreciate it.

David-you are the man! Can I follow this same fertilization process for palms in containers?

Great content . No negativity in all the comments . Interesting

Thanks for everything! I’m craning in two date palms and want to take care of them

Thank you thank you thank you, you have saved my beautiful palm trees!! I have no idea what I’m doing and my husband loves palm trees😵🙂

Super informative stuff. Just had planted 4 Sylvester palms and was in need of some good info on how to maintain/ care for them. Thank you sir.

Excellent video. Very informative. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. And I'll be buying that book right away.

Very informative video. Just had new landscaping done. I'm about to fertilize and wondered if I have to lift the protective plastic covering on top of the dirt before I put the fertilizer; I'm using granules.

Thank you for this video. Amazing information and great delivery. Can you please shoot some recommendations for a coconut palm. What type of granule would u use? Also anything eles tíos would help thank un!

Great content…. Very informative! Thank you 🙏

outstanding video, thank you!

Give this guy his own show!!! HGTV you listening?!

Awesome video with a ton of information

Very helpful information! Thanks for the book recommendation too as I live in Northern California.

Thankyou so much.

I’ve really got to get to your store

Thanks for the video, very educational =)

🌴 always good information thanks !🤙🏽

Great Video.

I have a question, you are very knowledgeable about palms. I have a 60-70 foot palm in my yard actually 13 of the them, but I noticed one of them wasn’t growing as fast. The leaves and spear seemed to be browning. I was told to add epsom salt, fertilizer for palms and baking soda to the soil. I added those but realized the epsom salt I added had eucalyptus oil in it 🫣 will that hurt it? And what do you recommend for my palm. They are 80 years old at least.

I just planted a 6.5 gal queen palm here in northwest Florida. I mixed a bag of miracle grow - cactus, citrus, palm soil with the ground dirt and created a water retention ring around it and watered it well. The higher elevation in my yard helps the soil be well drained. Any other recommendations for me other than maybe putting some mulch around it? Thanks so much for any help. Love the videos.

super excellent,, thanks,,

Thanks David, very helpful!

Hope you make more palm content

Thank you for the direct, clear and concise information! I just planted 3 sabal palms in South Georgia. How long should we soak them twice a day for the first 2 weeks? Is 30 minutes too long? They were sitting in water when we purchased them. And do you ship the products mentioned in this video?

Loved the Video , very Informative, I have a question about Revitalizing the soil in a 20 gallon barrel where a 6 foot Bismark Palm tree has rooted itself. I have been contemplating using Vermicule & perlite at the top of the soil so it eventually soaks into the soil. I have no intention of removing th ep[almt tree from the barrel for the next year or two until i can acquire land to plant it. SO my only alternative righ now is to just reinvigorate the soil as best i can so they can absorb nutrients.. The palm trees have for sure rooted in the entire barrel so these no way for me to remove and replace soill. The water is soaking into the soil 2-3 seconds after i soak it weekly so the soikl does have a thic sandy consistency, not mud, which is a positive thing, i thnik i can extend its life, Any advice is welcome

David, We're also in Jax and wanted to get your help on a few palms I have.

Great info, thanks.

So informative! Thank you!

is it safe to use fish emulsion fertilizer near palms? (like on adjacent plants)

Great video again. You mention magnesium deficiency in Fl soil. What about Manganese which that deficiency causes frizzle top on queen palms? Is that as common as magnesium deficiency?

Great job

Great video. Thanks a ton!

This dude is bad ass

Hi, thank you for all of the information. I live in Southern CA and was wondering if the suggested 20-20-20 fertilizer is the “go to” regardless of where in the US one is located and the soil type. Thank you.

Hi David, I planted 5 palms , all of these are transplanted from one house to a different one. Would you suggest fertilizing them while transplanting to the new location? Also, what could i possibly use to reduce the transplant shock?

Appreciate your videos, just transplanted a 8 ft tall (not including root ball) mature canary date palm. Live in Southern California and watering every 2-3 days. Any suggestions for fertilizer in a clay soil environment? Much appreciated

great video...my first palm tree in pot ever! learnt a lot from you. i just potted a two feet palm in cactus, palm, citrus potting mix. Should i add the palm tone now and also add liquid fertilizer every other week?

Gud job brother

Just planted a Bottle Palm in front of our SW Florida home. I'm a novice, trying this for the first time. Is this product good for the Bottle Palm? Referring to the Nutritional Spray liquid.

Good morning, very good presentation. One question. I have a sylvester Palm. It was planted two month ago, I'm worried about the lack of greening. I live in central Florida. What do you suggest?? (2 feet bark)

Very informative 👏👌👍

So how many gallons per palm? So 2 gallons in the soil and 1 gallon on the trunk and down the crown by top spear? And you’re doing 4 capfuls per gallon?

Hi David I have a Sylvester palm tree.last spring it bloomed with dots.This year I want to trim them before they bloom as they get rotten.Can you recommend how to remove the them ?

thanks!

Would would you recomand for a couple 15 foot queen palms in north WA? They just dont seem to grow, new frawns arnt even opening up anymore. Still nice & green. Average temp here is 48 & we get lots of cloudy/rainy days

Hi thanks for video. I have Pygmy and queen palms. I live in corona California. I have a drip system. Not sure is this is the best irrigation for my palms. I’m concerned with applying fertilizer with a drip system. Would I have to hand water to get the fertilizer to sink in? My palms look weak.

I heard that Medjool Date can produce edible fruit in Jax area? Is this true ? Enjoy your videos.✌️

Hey Dave when are you going to start your own channel now that you left earhworks?

Appreciate your videos mate , I've got a Mexican fan palm , looks quite ugly but growing about 14' tall , is there anything I should be careful about trimming this type?

I have a 12-4-12 palm food fertilizer, would this also work?

Very helpful video..Learnt a lot. I potted a pygmy date palm 3 weeks back. I added potting soiling/perlite/worm castings and a 8-2-12 slow release fertilizer during potting. I have it in my patio in big container, it gets direct morning sun for 2-3 hours and then shade. But the edges of the palm leaves are brown crusty/crispy. I am properly watering, even using moisture meter, no pest infestation. Still the ends are browning, curling, splitting into two...do u know what I can do and what's wrong with the plant?

So it’s 1gal per palm

The liquid fertilizer that you showed here in this video. If it fall on my grass will it damage it? and will it stain my cement curves and river walk rocks? that are in my garden where I have my queen palm trees.

I’ve just got my palm nutrition spray, how much do I use for a smaller palms?

Hi I have 3 foxtails New Smyrna beach area. They don’t look healthy they’re about 4 or 5 yrs old. One of them has a stunted frond. The other 2 have no new fronds. How can I help them or know f they’re dying. Thank you

Is it ok to apply fertilizer in winter in Florida? I have been getting mixed responses from different growers. Some say never fertalize in winter but i have a chlorotic palm in my front yard thats asking for it. What would you do?

I’m in Texas and have Mexican & Texas sables. Any suggestions? Thank u

Good video big guy, you know bamboo and bizmark palms? Any info /advise on Bayer/ blue plastic bottle? That work in TampaBay for me- I like organic- I’ll try that

I am in North Florida. I put a fairly large Bismarck palm in about 3 months ago. Full sun. It is not doing well. I have fertilized it 3-4 times...maybe too much. I water it every 2-4 days depending on rain. Where can I get some help on this? My husband and I love this tree more than all other palms and it is front and center of our front yard. Help!

Can you please let me know what’s the best mix with lots of drainage for Bismarck Palm tree I’m in Canada I killed one because he didn’t have a drainage can you please let me know I really appreciate it thank you very much I just want to know what’s the best mix with lots of drainage I got a clay soil

Mantap terimakasih infonya👍👍🙏

What’s the difference between the palm nutrientional and the chelated palm liquid?

Are you SURE you need all of that 20-20-20 spread SO much around that palm? It really looks like OVERKILL. I guess that you know best.

Can you please let me know my my Bismarck palm tree to where the leaves dry don’t but they’re still green why it’s on 25 gallon pond nursery it’s indoor thank you

Is David still with Earth Works Jax? I have a palm tree question.

What if the palm was planted in July? Should I wait till September to fertilize?
