    Diameter is width of trunk. You measured circumference

    You measured the circumference. Divide by 3.14 to get diameter.

      Terrible directions. Didn’t specify feet or inches. Since it did reference feet in the direction of 3 feet up, assume feet for the formula?

      Exactly.. I did the long math for him but simplified version is any circle divided by it diameter is pi or 3.14… so he used 3 times too much fertilizer! 👍🏻

    I use morganite which is a slow release high nitrogen fertilizer. It seems to work the best for me and the palms just explode when you spread it around them. It works even better for really badly damaged palm from the winter. My washingtonia which I have at my main house I fertilized and the other at my beach house I left unfertilized and both were very damaged. The one at the house has been shooting out fronds so fast a little while after I did it and the one at the beach seems to be coming back super slow. Both palms are in similar areas of the house and the one at the beach saw a milder winter. All palms grow and react differently to anything so who can say.

    I picked some up today at Rural King. My lawn care guy showed me to water them near the top where the old branches were trimmed. Cannot find the species.

    I measure 3 feet up and then just the width of the trunk and divide by two and that’s how many cups of fertilizer

    Circumference homey lol

      Eric, I thought the same thing, haha. Time to nerd out!! C = 2 π r , or C = π d. So in this video 24” = π d. Divide both side by π and you’d get roughly d = 8. Divide that by 2 and he needed to put down 4 cups.

    Thanks. My palm tree must need fertilizer real bad. I have read every six months. Pretty sure mypoor beautiful tree has never been fertilized...🤔

  • @swimhard3049
    @swimhard3049 Před rokem +1

    Diameter is not circumference!! It’s the width not the circumference so your off ! You used 3 times too much . Diameter is 7.64 inches and that’s about 1/3rd of your 24” that you calculated off. (2) pi r which is (2) x3.14x R= Circumference… 6.28R=24…. R=3.82 … Diameter = 2R … D=7.64… 24/7.64=3.14… 3 times too much!

    how is this fertilizer different from the 8-2-12 Lesco slow release fertilizer? Is this just as good?

    • @TheJames2929
      @TheJames2929  Před 4 lety

      RoxyQueen i’m not sure but I know that this fertilizer is specially formulated for palm trees for the micro and macro nutrients that they require

    You measured circumference, not diameter. Diameter is thickness.
