2. Agree with that web site, but I will add that I always give my palms a lot of water when it is young, although yours isn't that young if it is 10ft. I fertilize once a year using slow release that peaks in spring to summer, slows down a bit in autumn (fall) and gives virtually nothing in winter. Thats general information as I don't know exactly what palm you have...
