Jobe’s Garden Fertilizer Spikes, Easy Plant Care Slow Release Fertilizer for Fruit and Citrus Plants and Trees, 160 Count

These fertilizer spikes really helped our fruit trees survive. They have grown and produced fruit, with the added aid of the Jobe's Fertilizer Spikes. It is a bit tedious pounding them into the ground, if you have a lot of trees, but it is well worth it! I credit these spikes with helping our new fruit trees make it through a harsh winter. I will absolutely be buying more of these Jobe's spikes for our budding orchard. The trees are thriving. Thanks, Jobe's!

The box was very beat up and corners were rounded. However, not one of the jobes stakes were damaged. I have more fruit trees and flowering trees than I can Count; I need a box once a year. Sometimes I break them a put pieces in my smaller potted plants . If used in potted plants more watering is necessary.

We have orchards here on the farm and have always used Jobe's tree fertilizer spikes and we love this much larger convenient size so that in the spring we can get all of them fertilized in one go. Our fruit trees just love them and reward us with so much fruit it is almost impossible to keep up with them, but we manage. If you want more from your orchard, consider these spikes. We have found that with our hard ground, we use a huge spike to make a hole in the ground, take the plastic cap off and place the fertilizer spike into the hole cover it up and viola, two or three at each tree and onto the next. Our farmhands say they really like these fertilizer spikes, and it is not hard to put them in.

Item was not as advertised in the store, looks like the item was used, the box didn’t even look like what was advertised, plus some of the spikes seemed to be crushed, plus the box was wrapped in plastic, it must have been dropped, because it was heavy.

If you have very many fruit trees and wish to fertilize them, this is the best way to go, because if you put the amount of sticks out as the directions say, you'll use quite a few for each tree, depending on how big your trees are. These work great, since I started using them my trees are growing more each year and producing more. I would suggest using a rubber mallet to tap them in the ground, and do it when the grounds not real dry, otherwise you will probably crumble the tops of the sticks even with the little protective installation cup.

These spikes are hardy and won't crumble when driving them into the ground. The only drawback to this sized purchase is the box they are shipped in. The box is very flimsy and poorly taped so once they arrived the box was open on both the top and bottom with one single piece of tape.

I am very happy with purchase. Even with broken ones not counted I still have minimum 160. Also, it is boxed, then boxed again, and still boxes were damaged, and split,so power and crumbs were dropping all over. I rebagged w zip lock, so they will stay dry until use, plenty of plastic caps to tap into the ground, like seriously plenty! Great deal. Do recommend

We started using these last year, twice a year, on our fruit and ornamental trees. We’ve seen significant improvement in the health and growth of our apple and ornamental trees, almost none with pawpaws. The results, however, on the trees that like these make them worth using. One important caveat: try to store these in a dry area, like an insulated garage, otherwise they absorb too much moisture from the air and literally crumble apart.

item came as advertised in a timely manner

Box was delivered full, dry, and with all stakes unbroken. Came with lots of rubber caps. The stakes were easy to drive into the ground and didn't shatter or crack. Will buy again.
