Jobe's tree spikes makes all the difference

Our new neighborhood is a perfect case study for these jobe tree spikes. Look down the block and they'll be one or two trees that are at least 2 to 3 ft taller than the rest. Ask the homeowner and those are the ones that have been fed Jobe's spikes. Over on the block by the pond, there was one Maple tree that held its beautiful red leaves weeks longer this fall. It was glorious. The secret there too ((I asked the homeowner) was Jobe's spikes. Same tree stock, same soil, same planting crew, same climate, one difference; Jobe's.

Jobe's Spikes work

I have been using these fertilizer spikes for years and they work. Currently, I am using them on a couple of large oak trees that were decimated by insect infestation (gall wasps) and I truly believe I have brought these trees back to life. I use about 20-30 of them on each tree twice a year and I have seen the trees flourish while other trees died. I also use them on evergreen trees and the results are positive in an area where the seaside soil is less than conducive to healthy growth.

that our builder provided in somewhat poor health, shot up 6 feet leaving our builder ...

Definitely works. I live in a fairly new neighborhood in the Austin TX area. Moved in just a little over a year ago, but immediately started using this. Our two Chinese Pistaches, that our builder provided in somewhat poor health, shot up 6 feet leaving our builder warranty guy in disbelief during a random appointment. We have a couple infant Mexican white oaks that are responding in kind to the spikes; we planted them 5 months ago in the middle of Winter and they've grown 6-8 inches. Our 3 month ago planted American/Mexican Sycamore hybrid was planted at 30 gallon/16 feet - I feel like this will be the true test. Aiming to get 100 feet of shade to blind us from nearby apartments, which in this area is a tower of a tree.

These work!

These work! I bought a dogwood tree that looked about dead and planted it and it didn't do much. About two weeks after I put these stakes in the tree started growing leaves. It's been about two months and the once dead-looking tree looks great!

Worked Increadably well brought the trees back to health

Bought a house surrounded by pines in late fall and noticed a huge amount of pine needles were falling. In the spring I noticed on the end of branches the needles were turning brown and realized the soil was probably lacking nutrients. Used these at the drip line as instructed and all the trees started looking better with the needles/leafs were now all green. This fall not manu pine needles fell as the trees were so much healthier. Bought a ton of this when it went on sale and gave them to my neighbors who had the same problem. Buy it as it works as advertised, BUT follow the instructions as too close to the tree might harm it.

Great product! But use a shovel to get them in the ground.

I've used these consistently over the years, and my trees and shrubs come flying out of the ground with amazing growth rates, and a lushness that is incomparable to other trees in the neighborhood. Some evergreens that were sluggish and nondescript put on 4-5 feet of growth in a season, with gorgeous deep green color. Maples, notoriously rather slow growing, gained trunk girth, height, and fullness in the first season they were planted. DO NOT put spikes too close to the trunk, and do not use more, thinking more is better. Youll end up with a dead tree. Here's a tip: throw away the cap. It's useless. Just get a gardening spade, plunge it straight down into the ground and push it forward. Drop a fertilizer spike in sideways, remove the spade, and step on the ground to settle the soil and firm in the spike. Easy peasy. No bending, kneeling, etc. I'm a 50 year old woman with a bad back and can fertilize several dozen trees in no time.

I've used these with AMAZING results

These are easy to insert. I usually put them in the ground after a few days of rain. I live in Louisiana and have several palm trees. When we moved into our home in 2012, the trees were struggling. I've applied these seasonally since and they are lush and flourishing. These cost about the same as the miracle grow palm granules, but I haven't been able to find these jobes palm stakes in stores. ***UPDATED WITH PHOTOS FROM 2018*** (The "light snow dusting" 😂🤣 photo is from 2017, and is out of order in the photos)

Noticible Difference

We live on a parkway with all fairly new trees. We’ve been using these for over a year and our trees are by far the healthiest. They have a noticeably deeper green, other neighbors have commented. They are a bit larger and fuller than the other trees planted the same year. In spring they get buds 1-2 weeks before those trees and hold their leaves 2 weeks longer than everyone else’s trees. Part of the reason there is such a pronounced difference is the local soil is clay so if you don’t fertilize there will be issues with your tree.

Great product if you follow instructions

I've waited quite a while to write my review on these as I wanted to see how my young trees made it after our first use. It's been a year now since the first use and our cypress elms are doing great. I read all of the reviews and just like the directions and other user indicate, if you plant along the drip line, you'll be just fine. Our young trees were about 7' tall upon initial placement and 2" in diameter. They've grown almost 2' in height and almost 1" in diameter. There haven't been any issues with burning the trees because we inserted the spikes just outside of the drip line. I'm getting ready to use these for the second year now. I don't expect any difference in the performance for year 2.

Just what my trees need

These are great fertilizer spikes! I have used them in the past for when I transplanted my dogwood tree and it really helped to get the roots established and back to growing really nicely. That was a couple of years ago and I since stopped using them only because I didn't see any need to spend the money when my tree was looking great, or so I thought. However, I noticed this year that the leaves were starting to not look so good and it seemed to stop growing new shoots so my first thought was I better start using Jobe's fertilizer spikes again and I'm so happy I did! As soon as I put these in the ground, my dogwood started to look much better and it has at least 8 new shoots on it. I've always been pleased with this product and would definitely recommend. I'm also using it on my maple tree that is only a few years old and will try it on my lilac bushes that haven't looked so good for a few years. I have no doubt they will greatly improve and this is a product that is worth spending the money on. I really shouldn't have stopped using them so needless to say, I've learned my lesson :).
