Got this in the mail today. It has three different feeding levels: low, medium and high. For example, for my 5 foot trachy, it says to spread 1 cup around the drip line for low, 2 cups for medium and 3 cups for high. Looking for advice from the experts on how much to use. I want to see if this stuff really packs the punch I've heard. And as for around the drip line, is that from the trunk out to the edge of the frond canopy?
Thanks!

Let us know if you like it.
The only made-for-palms fertilizer I've ever used is from Stoke's tropicals, but I'm out. --Erik

That's regarded as THE best palm fertilizer on the market.
It's slow release, so people have to remember not to put it on every month!
I've never seen it for sale here.
Seems like a fairly small container if you've got 5 or 6 palms.
Let us know how the palms respond.

Ended up getting the other stuff last year out of White Plains New York.
You know...the one with the incorrect application strength on the label and I had to flush all the containers... 🙄
Anyway I've got two big buckets of it...so Carl Pool will have to wait.
How about Tim's Q on 1 cup around the drip line for low, 2 cups for medium, etc.?
Would you/have you used that much?

I just procured 4 containers of Carl Pool off of eBay. I have been using Espoma, but wanted to try something different for the July fertilizing.

I bought some CarPool Palm fert. from Amazon.com there are a couple different companies on Amazon offering it.
