Simple to apply around the dripline, they eliminate measuring and messy application while reducing surface runoff. Use in early spring and again in late fall to support seasonal growth and fruit development without complicated dosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these spikes feed my tree differently than bagged fertilizer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike surface-applied granules, these spikes release nutrients slowly below ground, placing fertilizer closer to fine roots that absorb water and minerals.
