Sad tree? Try fertilizer spikes!

Looking for a way to provide extra support to your tree? If your tree is looking a little down or needs a boost of help, using fertilizer spikes could be a great way to get nutrients into your tree efficiently.

Using fertilizer tree spikes helps promote active roots and healthy growth while also helping trees preserve and store energy in order to withstand environmental stress like droughts. Tree spikes provide a continuous supply of nutrients into the soil while reducing the risk of overfertilization. 

While any tree could benefit from tree spikes, some trees are especially in need. A tree with slow or reduced growth, pale or undersized leaves, defoliation, or lack of flowering and vigor is in need of nutrients.

Spikes are not only an effective way to increase the flow of nutrients into the soil but it is also affordable and easy to do on your own.

Save The Ash Tree offers tree spikes as an additional service to help give trees the extra support they need, we charge based on the circumference of the tree in inches and we will plant the spikes ourselves so you don't have to!

For homeowners looking to plant tree spikes they are available at garden centers and grocery stores. When planting tree spikes yourself, it is important to lay the spikes around the canopy of the tree, leaving about 6 feet between each spike. They can be inserted by puncturing the ground around the same depth as the spike. Most trees will need 10-20 tree spikes depending on its size.
