The Old Farmer’s Almanac Evergreen Fertilizer Plant Food Spikes

Give your evergreen trees and shrubs the steady nutrition they need with The Old Farmer’s Almanac Evergreen Fertilizer Plant Food Spikes. Designed for conifers, pine trees, evergreens, and shrubs, these durable 5-inch fertilizer spikes deliver essential nutrients directly to the root zone for continuous feeding with less waste and runoff.

Strong, Long-Lasting Nutrition

Each TruSpike is packed with a 10-4-10 fertilizer formula that provides balanced nutrition to support healthy, vigorous growth:

• 10% Nitrogen helps encourage lush growth and rich, dark green foliage.
• 4% Phosphorus supports healthy cones, berries, and blooms.
• 10% Potassium helps promote strong, healthy roots.

Each spike can provide continuous nutrition for up to 3 months, helping your trees and shrubs stay nourished throughout the growing season.

Durable TruSpike Design

Forget crumbly, dusty fertilizer spikes that can break before they reach the soil. The patented TruSpike is made with natural ingredients and designed to withstand hammering without breaking, crushing, or smashing.

There’s no plastic cap or special equipment needed. Simply use a hammer to drive the spike into the soil and let it get to work.

Direct Feeding With Less Waste

These fertilizer spikes release nutrients directly into the root zone, where your trees and shrubs need them most. By delivering nutrition beneath the soil surface, TruSpikes help minimize waste and runoff while providing targeted, continuous feeding.

Easy to Apply

For best results, apply fertilizer spikes twice a year—once in early spring and again in late fall. Depending on your climate and plant variety, an additional summer application may provide extra nutrition and help plants cope with summer stress.

How to Use

1. Water your plants thoroughly before applying the fertilizer spikes.
2. Using a hammer, drive each spike into the soil until the top is at least 2 inches below the soil surface.
3. Space the spikes evenly in a circle around the plant’s dripline.
4. Never place a spike closer than 30 inches from the tree trunk.

Recommended Application Rates

• Shrubs: Use 1 spike for every 3 feet of plant height.
• Trees: Measure the trunk diameter 1 foot above the ground. Use 1 spike per inch of trunk diameter, with a minimum of 2 spikes.
