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.

Would RecommendGreat product, easy to use
Your evergreens will thank you.
Would RecommendKeeps my trees healthy and green. With so many tree diseases and bugs, every little bit helps. I've been using them for about 5 seasons and happy with the results.
Needs an improvement.
Would Not RecommendGreat idea but difficult to drive spikes into ground. I bought 2 boxes and one box didn’t contain the plastic caps used to help drive spikes into the ground. The one box that did contain the 2 caps but they were good enough for only about 3 spikes. Need better and sturdier drivers.
