Hello, I got my palm from ebay back about sometime in March, since then all I have done is watered it, however I figure I should probably fertilize it. Being in Upstate New York, stores wont sell palm tree fertilizers, and trying to know what the right mix should be is difficult. Can someone suggest a specific product? Also, I was told its around 3 years old, in a 3 gallon pot, how will I know when I should change pots? It has been growing a new palm branch, so I know its fairly healthy. I have attached some pics Thanks Andy
Any Citrus Plant food formula should be fine for your palm. http://www.google.com/products?q=citrus+food&hl=en&safe=off&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wf I can't recommend a specific one as I don't know what's available in your area.

whats your take on the size? Is it fine to still be in a 3 gallon pot or should it be moved to a bigger one?
I tend to re-pot only when the plant dries out too quickly or it blows over in a steady wind. Be careful of the decomposition of the organics in the soil. It can lead to root rot. Good re-potting guidelines. http://www.growsonyou.com/n2organics/blog/6067-how-to-dry-root-trees
