When planting Piru Queen Palms, it’s important to first understand that you’re planting a tropical plant which is going to require nutrients and little more care than planting something like a Mesquite tree. Queen Palms must be fertilized in order to get the most out of them. We always tell our customers that “you wouldn’t go a year without feeding your dog, so why go a year without feeding your trees?” When fertilizing, it’s very important that you use the proper blend to feed your palm trees.
One of the most important things your queen palm needs is called Manganese Sulfate. This delivering agent sends the fertilizer, nutrients and water to your palm; without this your water and fertilizer is less effective, which can lead to one very common problem; frizzle top. Using a product once a month such as our Super Palm Juice, or any other products that contains the proper balance of Manganese Sulfate and other vital micro-nutrients will prevent the most common issues with Queen Palms. Using Super Palm Juice in conjunction with our Moon Dust Fertilizer will keep your palm nice, green and continuously growing. This combination has everything your palm needs to be healthy; nitrogen, iron, phosphorus, and manganese sulfate.
