Jobe’s Slow Release Evergreen Fertilizer Spikes, Easy Plant Care for Cypress, Arborvitae, Pine, Cedar, and Many More Acid Loving Trees, 9 Count

My ex used to be in charge of the plants in the house and the garden. She used to use the wrong fertilizer on my Green Giants and she scorched a bunch of them. Then she tried to blame it on the neighbor saying he was intentionally spraying Round Up on our trees. Turns out that wasn't true she just used fertilizer meant for other plants. Since I switched to the RIGHT kind my trees have grown by leaps and bounds. I've saved a lot of the scorched trees and things are looking really good now. Plus you get a good workout hammering the fertilizer spikes into the ground. My advice is to get a rubber mallet if you don't already have one and use that over a hammer. The spikes are solid by they do tend to break easily. The rubber knob they give and a rubber mallet helps keep the spikes in one piece.

I use these every Spring / Fall for shrubs, bushes, flowers (different types for different garden species). They are the best! Very happy/ healthy gardens, shrubs and bushes!!! I use about 60 - 2 times a year - closely following directions = perfect results! Tip: try to set spikes in wet ground - after a moderate rain - much easier to put in!

These tree spikes should do the job feeding a recently planted oak tree, but be careful inserting them. They are meant to be driven into fairly loose soil, and if the soil around your tree is compacted at all, they will break when pounded with a hammer. best to use a weed digger to make a hole to drive them into so they don't break

These make the task of fertilizing my fruit trees so easy!! My 2 year old trees are already producing fruit. A tree that is OVER 5 years old and NEVER gave a peach ia now covered with flowers. Hopefully, I will finally get peaches.

good for my trees

I've been feeding my yard to help my plants resist the hot Texas summer. This has really helped my grass so I applied the same logic to my trees and shrubs and inserted these stakes as instructed. My trees were struggling to grow new foliage and would occasionally drop foliage resulting in a net loss. I knew I needed to do something to break this cycle and these plant food stakes were the right solution. I would highly recommend them, very easy to use and very effective for stimulating new healthy growth. Due to the extremely poor quality of soil in my neighborhood the trees and grass never stood a chance, but after proper feeding we are in good shape.

My evergreens do well with these.

I've always been happy with Jobe's fertilizer spikes for our fruit trees and encourage you to use their products as long as you're not in a hurry. It takes them 4 to 8 weeks to ship your purchase. I'd recommend order in the spring for fall fertilizing and order in the fall to prepare for spring fertilizing.
