Maintaining Palm: Fertilizers

We all know that different trees nutritional requirements vary from other plants. For palms, there are specially formulated palm fertilizers that are available in the market. These fertilizers help prevent nutritional deficiencies. You should also know that improper fertilization can lead to problems such as magnesium deficiency (which leads to yellowing fronds), iron deficiency (which leads to yellowing young fronds, green mature fronds), manganese deficiency, particularly in alkaline soils (yellowed, frizzled young fronds), and zinc deficiency (small fronds).
