What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these evergreen fertilizer spikes for delivering noticeable improvements in tree and shrub health, with many reporting faster growth and restored vigor. Users consistently highlight the ease of installation, describing the process as quick and simple, taking only minutes to apply. The slow-release formula provides results over several months, especially when paired with regular watering. However, some customers report that spikes crumble or become brittle when driven into hard soil, and plastic caps frequently split or break during installation. Despite these durability concerns, most reviewers consider the product an effective, hassle-free way to nourish evergreens.

Spike this fertilizer, not a football!
Would RecommendQuick and easy to install into the ground.
Fertilizer spikes
Easy to apply. Don’t waste time with the little plastic cap to pound them in the ground. It gets jammed on top I used a small potting shovel to make a hole in hard soil. Then hammered them in the hole with a rubber mallet. They didn’t break or shatter. Nice
Great for feeding
Would RecommendEasy to feed the tree, growth is good and green. I don’t like the plastic top to hammer the spike into ground, after the 5th spike it broke. It use to be metal, go back to metal top.
