to spray or not to spay

I have 2 trachys about 5 ft each, a needle palm and a sabal minor each about 2 ft high that I bought and planted in april this year. Does anyone know if it hurts or helps them if sprayed with wilt proof? I spray my rhodedendrins and camelias but I wasn't sure if I could spray the palms or not. Mark

You may want to try chillypalmtree.com. They are in south carolina. I am in Pa and Shawn makes several trips a tear up north. I am meeting him in 2 weeks to pick up two 5 ft trachys and a needle palm. Prices seem fair. Mark
