Ratings & Reviews for Gardener's Blue Ribbon 9-in Plastic Tree Tie Kit

Decent tree kit

It is an average tree kit. Only good for smaller trees.

Tree stakes

Best for smaller tree. Good news is that it is a complete package of what's needed to support small trees. But plastic stakes offer minimal support and if pressured by wind or tree size they will give way and allow tree to lean. If in doubt, best to get a larger tree kit.

Cheap junk for $11

Don’t bother. You can make a better tree anchor system with scraps of material laying g around your house. Lowe’s should consider another vendor. All you get is some flimsy twine, 3 pieces of cheap garden hose, and stakes.

Garbage

The stakes are very weak & break when trying to drive them into anything but wet, loose soil. The string that comes with them is way too short as well. I basically paid $10 for partial string & the hose pieces. Save your money and buy your own rope, metal stakes (or thick wood/rebar) and a cheap hose that you can cut to length. It will end up being cheaper if you have multiple trees and much more durable.

Tree stability steaks and ropes

We live in rural and didn’t hold up with the wind we get.

Everything’s there

Great for what we needed. Needed to anchor a new hydrangea tree and worked great.

For $10 it saved me from buying all the pieces separately to support my tree. For the price it did it’s job, the string could’ve been a bit longer.

Works very well with a small tree.

Nylon rope was replaced with standard rope to make it more durable to wind elements. Price for kit was attractive.

Works Good for Small Trees

It got the job done, just a bit awkward tying off the rope. We had to use eye bolts placed in an old tree trunk, rather than the posts (which are hard plastic,) because we have such rocky, hard soil in our hill country back yard. It appears to be working well so far. The posts would probably work well for regular, yard dirt and soil.

Tree stakes

Very easy to use and quality that will protect the tree as it roots and grows.

Great product!

Convenient kit that I used to stake a small ginkgo tree in my yard. I like the fact that everything I needed was all in one package.

Tied up a new shrub

It serves it's purpose in that we wanted to ensure the shrub/tree grows straight. It will if the stakes stay in the wet ground.

Perfect for Smell / young trees.

After several hours looking into available options we decided to get this from Lowes. The price was right on spot for the item and was in stock for immediate pickup. The directions were simple and the task was done in minutes. It had everything neeeded in planting out new tree.

great price!

had to stake 10 trees and it worked just fine, make sure to cut the rope in 3 sections and you will have plenty

cheap twine. lasted six months

The twine lasted less than six months. frayed everywhere. cheap.
