What Customers Are Saying

The tree staking kit is suitable for small trees and shrubs, but has several quality and design issues that make it inadequate for larger or taller trees. The stakes are too short and weak, often breaking or pulling out easily, especially in windy conditions. The included rope/twine is low quality, flimsy, and not long enough to properly secure the tree. The rubber hose pieces are inflexible and difficult to use. While some reviewers found the kit easy to use and effective for small trees or bushes, the overall consensus is that the product is best suited for very small trees or shrubs, but is not recommended for larger, taller trees that require more robust staking and support.

Just okay

Would Recommend

Works well but they can come out of the ground. I used metal garden stakes to hold these in the ground more securely. The rope unravels making it difficult to tie knots.

Poor Value

Would Not Recommend

Cheap twine that unravels while trying to tie it and there's not even enough to do the job like in the photo, and some tubing...both could be bought for a few dollars. Stakes are nice though. Would be an okay value at about $5.

Ok for what it is

Would Recommend

We needed to correct a 6 foot tree that was leaning. We ended up trying this quick solution which worked ok. The rope provided could be longer and of better quality however.

Decent stakes

Stakes are sturdy but need to be about 3" longer to prevent stake pop-ups in windy conditions.

Simply not enough

Would Not Recommend

The string isn’t great quality. There is not enough strung for there to be 3 equal lengths of rope to support the tree. Not a great product.

Stakes are weak/too short to be effective in wind.

Would Not Recommend

Unfortunately, stakes are weak as other reviews mentioned. Some extra length could help if you’re very careful, but they’re too short as well.

This works for a small bush but not a 6 foot tree

The rubber hose pieces should be longer and you need more nylon twine than is included to properly stake a tree.

Poor Quality, Cheaply Made, Weak to Support a Tree

Would Not Recommend

What a waste of money. The spikes warped with the sun and they pulled out of the ground. We had to buy metal tent stakes to hold the tree straight. The nylon cord and the rubber braces are cheap and weak. I doubt it will last the year.

Tree stakes

I am very happy with the product! It is a higher quality and works better than a set I bought from the local greenhouse. They are working great getting my tree aligned!

Decent for the price. Use a mallet, not your foot.

Stakes are fairly solid and hold in the soft sandy soil of Florida pretty well, but do need to be driven all the way in to do so. They are a little flexible, so don't just stomp on them to drive them in. Rubber mallet recommended.

Not worth the money! $10.00 for cheap rope & stakes

Weak, ineffective, ugly eyesore

Would Not Recommend

Cheap plastic line, weak anchors. The line is bright yellow and the tubing is bright green, granted I knew this before buying but I was in a pinch so I had no choice. A little planning will allow you to purchase a kit that is low key when it comes to color so it doesn't scream "look at me". There's no way I'm going to leave such an ugly product on my tree for a year or so while I wait for the tree to establish a strong root base... How about the product being clear so your eyes aren't drawn to i...

Do not over tighten nor put the ropes to low.

Would Recommend

I wish I had this kit sooner for my trees. Glad i purchased 2 kits. In a windy conditions, it maintains an upright position.
