Coconut but is it yellow Malayan dwarf type

[Patrick Palms]

Is this a Dwarf yellow Malayan Coconut palm?

They look like they are either the yellow or golden Malays, but it's hard to say...the yellow/gold Malays always get very burned and ratty-looking this time of year away from the more deeply tropical climates, and at least in Florida, they are a magnet for whitefly, which really causes the leaves to look bad in winter. Plus these are obviously out of a nursery somewhere and may be just in a state of sunburn or going from shade-cloth to full sun too quickly. If availability in the Canaries is anything like in the USA, they are probably Gold Malays because yellows are fairly hard to come by, especially in quantity. The golds are very common, in Florida, at least, even though they have the worst appearance in winter there. And your second picture looks more like a gold form to my eye, as the yellow really has a brighter, more pale petiole-color than the one you show.

Thankyou    at this size  will they need slow release fertilizer in 4 months time?  And should i place some sea salt on them

[mnorell]

Yes, a slow-release fertilizer but make sure you use the right fertilizer depending on your soil composition and pH. If highly basic (alkaline), you should use a fertilizer based on sucrates if possible, or at least sulfates. If they are derived from oxides, remember that they will be effective only in an acid soil.

You can place some sea-salt on them within reason, this has been found to act as a fertilizer of sorts and is actively promoted in the Philippines. But if your fertilizer is lacking in Manganese, Magnesium or Boron, you will need to add these via a supplement (e.g., Epsom Salts for Magnesium...very important for proper plant-cell development).

My 2 Golden Malayan Coconut palms safely in the Ground.  What plants would compliment these Palms ?  I was thinking of growing bougainvillea or Mandeville climbers up the fence... These Malayan palms, how often should they get fertilizer? 

[GottmitAlex]

Fertilizer every other month.

Make sure it contains boron.

 

[Patrick Palms]

Boron  is essential for coconut palms ?

I suggest it. 

Essential, no.

[Patrick Palms]

As Coffee grounds contain Boron and Nitrogen, would that be good 

[Patrick Palms]

Also Banana is high in Boron and potassium.. could these items be used in a home made fertilizer?  If high grade palm fertilizer is hard to find ?
