How many spikes do I need for 13 recently planted trees with 1" to 2" trunks?

I myself would use 6 spike in a circle spaced evenly as wide as the branchs on the tree.

I would buy 2 packages, or 30 spikes. You will want to use 2 spikes per tree, 1 on each side about 30" from the trunk. We have a rectangular orchard with about 20 trees on 10 foot centers that we put in last year. We used a total of 40 spikes on the east and west sides of each tree. I would also recommend that you purchase a handheld auger (Yard Butler 30 inch Roto Digger) to drill into the ground about 18 inches before dropping in the spike. You want your roots to go down for their nutrients rather than across the surface, and burying the fertilizer stakes helps make that happen. These say right on the package do not use within 30 inches of tree trunk". Take that seriously. Buried or not, they will burn your roots if you stick them right next to the trunk.

The spike in ground is 5 1/2 inches and the above ground is 9 inches. This distance will be reduced by the size of your bark mulch or rock landscaping.

No, you still need to utilize a citrus-oriented fertilizer in the soil. The citrus fertilizer spikes supposedly work well for larger trees although I haven't used them personally (cannot be used for potted trees.)

Exactly! The packaging recommends 1 spike per foot of diameter, inserted along the dripline.

Go to agardenpatch.com they should have a chart to tell you what and how much you can plant if you want to check before you buy

I don't believe so. Be sure to put the spikes at the outside edges, no more than two.

These spikes are 1/4" in diameter. I also got the stake "puller" which was a neat helper.

You will need 12 1" conduit if you set the heavy backing 12" in front of the back netting as recommended. If one does not use the heavy netting, than 11 poles will be required.

100 should be sufficient for a 3 foot tree depending on the density strung at. They are a pleasing blue color, not purple.

There are different spikes for evergreens. Evergreens need a different nutrient mix then trees and shrubs so it's best to use the evergreen spike for evergreens and tree and shrub spikes for trees and shrubs. I have quite a bit of trees, shrubs and evergreens so I've used both spikes for years and they do a great job. My trees (all types) look great!

In one year my tree is only a few inches taller. My understanding is it will top out about 6 or 7feet depending on size of pot. Also note, you'll need a second tree that has opposite flowering cycle to bear fruit.

I bought several and recommend them. As shipped, on a 1 1/2" diameter tree they will cover 36" in vertical height. However, wrapped around a 4 1/2" tree the coverage is reduced to about 12". So obviously the diameter of the trees will dictate how many you require. Also, any tree less than 1 1/2" in diameter will have a sloppy fit unless you wrap it tightly and secure the ends. I just used electrical tape.

We have ours on a stone pad so we haven't used the spikes. I'm no help. Sorry.

I think it would be fine since they are two years old, give them a couple of weeks to settle in and maybe go with half the recommendation for the number of spikes to use for established trees. They are simply terrific, getting ready to get more for our apple and pear trees.

Unfortunately, my trees have not yet produced any flowers or cherries so I have not seen the shape of the beans to determine the variety. The seedlings I received were very small, but they are growing nicely and and now are about 10-12 inches tall each. Out of what I received in my order, I have been able to grow 9 trees total. I had a problem with squirrels when I first potted these trees and lost quite a few from their digging, otherwise I would have had about 15 trees.

Jobes 1010 spikes: 1010 is a part number, from what I understand. These spikes are made specifically for palm trees with an N (Nitrogen), P (Phosphorous) and K (Potassium) content of 10-5-10, meaning that it is 10 parts N, 5 parts P, and 10 parts K per spike. Hope that helps - Lorraine

IT comes with 22 angular pegs to drive into the ground, securing each side pole w/rope. spikes are about 24" in length.. This is a heavy duty tent..the top is HEAVY!! GREAT QUALITY FOR THE BUCKS
