Jobe’s Slow Release Evergreen Fertilizer Spikes

Description

Feed your evergreens right where it counts — at the roots. Jobe’s Slow Release Evergreen Fertilizer Spikes deliver a premeasured 11-3-4 formula underground, exactly where the feeder roots can use it, for lush foliage, richer color, and steady season-long nourishment. There’s no mixing, no measuring, and no mess: just hammer a spike into the ground at the tree’s drip line and the slow-release formula does the rest, feeding gradually so it won’t burn your plants. Sold individually — buy exactly the number of spikes your trees and shrubs need.

Why You’ll Like It

• Premeasured spikes — no mixing, no measuring, no loose granules to spread
• Feeds at the roots — nutrients are released underground at the drip line where evergreen feeder roots take them up
• Slow release — a steady supply of nutrients that won’t burn roots or foliage
• No runoff — the spike releases below the surface, so nutrients stay in the root zone instead of washing away
• 11-3-4 evergreen formula — higher nitrogen to keep needles and foliage deep green and healthy
• Buy by the stick — purchase only as many spikes as your trees need

How to Use

1. Space spikes evenly around the tree’s drip line (the outer edge of the branches).
2. Use the included driving cap to hammer each spike into the ground until just below the surface.
3. Apply twice per year — in early spring and again in late fall.
4. Use more spikes for larger trees and shrubs; follow the package guidance for spacing based on trunk size.

What Do the Numbers 11-3-4 Mean?

The three numbers on every fertilizer are its N-P-K ratio — the guaranteed percentages of the three primary plant nutrients by weight.

• 11 — Nitrogen (N): drives lush, green foliage. Evergreens need a higher proportion of nitrogen to keep their needles and leaves deep green and healthy year-round.
• 3 — Phosphorus (P₂O₅): supports strong root development and establishment.
• 4 — Potassium (K₂O): improves overall vigor and the tree’s hardiness against cold, drought, and disease.

The nitrogen-forward 11-3-4 ratio is formulated specifically for evergreens, where rich, lasting foliage color is the priority. Stop by Garoppo’s to pick some up, or order online for delivery or in-store pickup.
