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.

Great product that is time saving
Would RecommendI use these twice a year on my evergreen holly shrubs. Takes only a few minutes to get them into the ground and then that's all the fertilizing I have to do for six months. I have been well pleased with the time release results.

Caps Not Durable
Would Not RecommendThe spikes seem to be similar to Jobe spikes. But the caps used to protect the stakes when driving them into the ground are not as durable.

Blue spruce damage
I'm not certain why but my blue spruce suffered damage on a good sized area on the bottom third of the tree after I started using these. It takes 3 spikes and the damage is in the 1/3rd on the sunny side where one spike goes. Nobody could tell me what was wrong so it wasn't until I read these reviews & saw other comments of blue spruce damage that I wondered if it wasn't from the stakes. Again, not sure, just wanted to warn.
