  Most palms require fertilization once or twice during the growing season. Not just any fertilizer will do, however. Palm trees have special needs that must be met with specially formulated fertilizers that target specific nutrient deficiencies. Homeowners should also apply regular maintenance fertilizers to healthy trees.

Once planted, a palm tree is easily maintained with just a little effort and some tender loving care.

The most important factor in a palm tree's health is soil. Compacted, nutrient-deficient soils found in most urban environments do not contain the components necessary for a palm to truly thrive. As the owner of your trees, it is your responsibility to maintain healthy soil.

As they grow, the older fronds of palm trees will turn brown, die and, eventually, fall off. For esthetic reasons, you may wish to speed the process along a little by pruning off the dead fronds. Use some caution when pruning a palm tree. Prune only the dead fronds and remember not to cut too close to the trunk. In the case of a large tree, this is a job that should be left to a tree maintenance specialist.
