Palm Tree Fertilization

Question

I’ve heard that palm trees like the nutrients of Epsom salt very much and to give them plenty. Can you confirm this? I know tomatoes do, but unsure about palm trees. What else in my zone?

Answer 1

The use of epsom salts on palm trees is to help correct or prevent magnesium deficiency (which they are susceptible to). The following website will give you guidelines on the frequency and quantity of epsom salts to use on your palm:
