Fruit Tree & Ornamental Gro-Stakes®

Fertilizing fruit trees and ornamentals doesn’t have to mean guesswork, runoff, or burned roots. Fruit Tree & Ornamental Gro-Stakes® take the uncertainty out of feeding by delivering slow-release nutrients directly to the root zone in pre-measured spikes — no measuring, no mixing, no waste. Just tap them in at the dripline and let them work all season long.

Slow-Release Nutrients Right Where Roots Need Them

The key to Gro-Stakes® effectiveness is placement. By driving the spikes into the ground at the dripline — directly below the ends of the longest branches — you’re delivering nutrients exactly where the tree’s feeder roots are most active. The gradual release over weeks and months means consistent feeding without the surge-and-starve cycle of liquid fertilizers, and no risk of burning sensitive roots from over-application.

No Runoff, No Over-Fertilizing, No Waste

Traditional granular and liquid fertilizers can wash away before trees absorb them, wasting product and potentially affecting surrounding soil and water. Gro-Stakes® eliminate that problem entirely — nutrients go directly into the soil where they’re needed and release slowly through root contact. The result is more efficient feeding with less product and less environmental impact.

Easy to Use, Up to Three Times Per Season

Gro-Stakes® can be applied up to three times per year during the growing season — spring, mid-summer, and fall — for consistent nutrition through the full growth cycle. The NPK formula of 8-11-11 is balanced for the needs of fruit trees and ornamentals, supporting healthy growth, root development, and fruit production.

Usage guide: For new trees, use 1 spike. For established trees, use 3 spikes for every 2 inches of trunk diameter (measured at chest height). Place spikes at the dripline, directly below the ends of the longest branches.
