Jobe’s Evergreen Fertilizer Spikes

These spikes are specifically formulated for acid-loving trees and shrubs, including pine, cedar, cypress, and arborvitae. If you have non-acid-loving evergreens, check the plant's specific soil requirements before use.

For optimal absorption, insert the spikes into the soil along the tree's drip line—the area directly under the outer circumference of the tree branches. This ensures the nutrients reach the active root zone rather than just the surface.

The slow-release formula is designed to feed your plants consistently throughout the growing season. You typically only need to apply them once in the spring and once in the fall for continuous support.

No, you do not need to dig. The spikes are designed to be driven directly into the soil using a hammer or a mallet. Ensure the soil is moist before application to make the process easier and prevent the spike from breaking.

Because the nutrients are released slowly and directly into the root zone, the risk of fertilizer burn is significantly lower than with traditional granular fertilizers. Just be sure to follow the package instructions regarding the number of spikes based on the tree's trunk diameter.
