Post Using Tree Spikes

I would like to know what type of TREE SPIKES to use on these TREES and BURSHES ?

White Fringe Tree, Olive Tree, Pussy Willow, Red Chokeberry, Northen Bayberry, Weigela, and Viburnum?

I planted them this Spring.

Why are you wanting to use spikes on them?To remove them.climbing spikes are very harmful to use in trees that are being trimmed.I suggest rope climbing or even the use of a ladder if they are small.If they are being removed then by all means spike them.it looks like you can get by nicley with a set of 2 and 3/4 inch gaffs on those trees.I also recomend the caddy pads.I just got a set and they are really comfy.

I cant find NPK details or if they are organic or chemical.

Find Fertilizer Spikes and other Plant Fertilizer at Aubuchon Hardware

Understand soils, mulch and perhaps broadcast fertilizing with organics will help the entire soil profile and create a positive long term beneficial soil.
