upon vehicular or storm damage.
Coronado Pkwy. - All locations X X Recommend removal or pruning away dead foliage from Yellow African Iris plants.
X X All Muhly grass should be heavily pruned back.
X X 2 Recommend developing recovery fertilization plan for all Paurotis palm clumps.
UF/IFAS Extension Publication #ENH1009 recommends the following for severe
deficiencies: “ When applying K fertilizers to correct a severe K deficiency, it is
important to also apply about 1/3 as much Mg to prevent a high K:Mg ratio from
causing a Mg deficiency problem. For severely K-deficient landscape palms,
broadcast a 3:1 blend of slow-release potassium sulfate and prilled kieserite
uniformly to the soil under the canopy at a rate of 1.5 lbs per 100 sq ft of canopy
area. A slow-release palm fertilizer like the 0N-0P2O5-16K2O+6Mg works well for
this purpose and is more readily available than slow-release potassium sulfate and
kieserite. This application should be repeated in three months. Three and six
months after that, a 1:1 mixture of the 0N-0P2O5-16K2O+6Mg and a 8N-2P2O5-
12K2O+4Mg palm maintenance fertilizer should be substituted at the rate of 1.5 lbs
of fertilizer per 100 sq ft of canopy area. After one year, use only the 8N -2P2O5-
12K2O+4Mg palm maintenance fertilizer at the same rate.”
If the Contractor could review and comment or provide its recommendations for a
multi-year plan to recover the Paurotis palms. (See attached UF/IFAS Publication
