2 fertilizer questions

[Hardypalms]

Hi

I m in a 7b zone (Southeast USA). I have lots of the usual zone 6-8a palm tree suspects. 
i added new ones last year including a fully grown Sabal palmetto.

I have used Jobe’s palm tree spikes for 15 years and they have kept them real green and healthy.

How many spikes shall i give the Sabal to start? 3 times a year?

I have large needle palms (R. hystrix) that are against a fence. They have become a pain in the b..t to crawl inside and plant the spikes. How do you fertilize the large bushy ones?

Thanks

Pat

Sabals don’t need much. It won’t hurt but they grow like weeds by me with no help. The need decent weather and that’s about it. They grow in super deficient sandy southeast so not much you need to add.
