Queen Palm fertilizer

16 years ago

Hi folks, we have 5 Queen Palms that we planted about 6 months ago, now they are about 5-6 feet high. They are looking a little yellow-brown on the ends, and it sounds like from what I've read that they may need some fertilizer. Our soil is very much clay, so I know that I need to water to get the soil soft to sprinkle in the fertilizer.

We were thinking about covering with newspaper and mulch for the coming windy season (after the fertilizing), as the weeds don't seem to take a winter break.

Any thoughts or advice on this plan would be helpful.

Thanks, Rob
