I overfertilize my Robellini Palm Tree...

[oswaldo]

Hello everyone I need help please... I was fertilizing my Palm trees with "PalmGain" fertilizer 8-2-12 and usually this doesn't happen to me but I feel I used more then usual this time, because now the edges of the leaves look brown crispy... Is there anything I can do to safe them? will they survive? Thank you in advance

I believe parts of California have experienced a record-breaking heat wave, which may cause brown tips even without excess fertilizer. I presume you have watered them extensively during this hot, dry streak? Keep watering. The good news: Phoenix roebelenii produces more leaves more rapidly than almost any other palm on earth. Your browned tips will soon be overhung with new green fronds. Water generously.

I live in Southern California about 20 miles from the ocean . With our soil , I have never found the need to fertilize Phoenix Roebelini. They do like a lot of water , especially when it is hot out . As @Kim said , it was a very warm , extended heat pattern early this year. That could’ve had something to do with what is going on with yours. I would continue with regular watering and it should grow out of it . Harry

@oswaldo welcome fo PalmTalk!  A photo would help.  It's sometimes hard to tell the difference between underwatering, overwatering, and fertilizer burn.  Best guess from me:

• Overwatering can end up with pale, droopy fronds.
• Underwatering (or super hot temps with low water) usually is brown tips on leaflets.  If it's all over it might just be heat.  Pure lack of water usually has brown tips on the oldest fronds first.
• Fertilizer burn *might* have streaks or splotches or random dead spots on leaves.

Hello everyone thank you all for your advice, what I end up doing was removing some of the granular fertilize on top of the soil, and we had few days of rain and looks like its getting better, tomorrow I will try to take some pictures and post them here, thank you all once again!
