Miracle-GroTree and Shrub Plant Food Spikes, For Deciduous, Flowering and Evergreen Trees, 12 Spikes

Works great, keeps lush growth all summer long, no need to continously feed over the summer.Great value for the money, healthy for the plants, no smell, plants love the taste.

These work great, really easy to install in the ground since they come with a plastic piece that goes over the top of the fertilizer spike. You just hammer them in.If the ground was really hard, they may fall apart, but the quality is great otherwise. We put these around all our fruit trees and willows.

This stuff is easy but if you have larger peach or other fruit trees, it's easier and cheaper to get a different pour type fertilizer. My biggest problem with these sticks is that they are kinda brittle, so you HAVE to put them in when the ground is wet and soft, otherwise these will break. I find it easier to just take a pick and knock a long hole in the ground and then push these in by hand, you could also use a trowel.While this fertilizer stick works as intended, my biggest complaint is they include just one plastic cap.(In theory you tap your hammer against this and it acts as a bumper for the stick so it doesn't break, kind of like your phone case protecting your phone against drops). However once on a stick, it's impossible to get it off, making it useless for the other fertilizer sticks in the pack.

Arrived as expected and product is as represented. Trees responded with new growth.

Started using this a little over a year ago on a small pine tree that wasn't looking so good. You add it to the soil every 6 months so I have just added the 3rd dose of it this week. The tree is already looking so much better even after only a few doses. This comes as stakes that you hammer into the soil about 3 feet from the trunk of the tree in 4 evenly spaced places around the tree. There is a removable cap that you use to protect the top of the stake when hammering it in. It goes in a lot easier if the soil around the tree is wet and soft so if it hasn't rained recently you will need to water the ground to soften it up before adding this. The only "Con" I have is that some of the stakes arrived broken. I don't know if they shipped that way or if they broke during shipping. Not a huge deal it just means you will have to dig a small hole to put the stakes in, instead of just being able to hammer them into the dirt. I will be buying these again and have already added installing them to my routine yard card "To Do" lists.

I’ve been using these tree and shrub plant nutrient spikes for a few weeks now, and I am extremely impressed with how well they’ve worked! The application is simple and mess-free—just insert them into the soil near the roots, and the spikes do the rest. Since I started using them, my trees and shrubs have visibly flourished. The leaves are greener, the growth is stronger, and overall, the plants look healthier.

I have used these for 3 years since I first planted my peach trees. The fertilizer is great but this batch was terrible, 1/3 of them were broken in pieces when I opened the box and half of the others shattered as I was trying to drive them into the ground. Lot#25053/CM/1/56/1. I don't know if it was a bad batch or mishandled, the Box did not appear damaged in any way but it could have been dropped. Anyway a great product, this particular order was a pain in the butt to put in.

Good product if in full piece. It came crumbly due to poor packing! Very disappointing. Fertilizer bits and dust everywhere.
