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.

Would RecommendMy soil is likely very compact, so I don't know if I can entirely fault the spikes themselves. But they did smash when trying to get them in, and the plastic cap provided didn't really fit well, and broke on the first spike. So I gave it 4/5 stars.

Seems good but plastic caps are not good
Would RecommendThe product seems ok. The plastic caps that go on the spike is terrible and split after a couple spikes. It’s hard to tell if it’s working because it’s a spike that goes in the dirt.

Consistent Feeding During Difficult Growing Season
Would RecommendThe Miracle-Gro Tree Food Spikes have provided consistent feeding to my arbor vitae shrubs despite a particularly difficult growing season. We have had excessive heat, humidity and rain for our geographic area, but my arbor vitae have resisted the climate changes well.
