Solid, pointed cylinders inserted into the ground near fruit-bearing trees deliver nutrients directly to the root system. These pre-measured doses of essential elements provide a convenient method for feeding trees, ensuring targeted delivery and minimizing nutrient runoff. For instance, a homeowner with a young orchard might use these to promote healthy growth and fruit production.
The practice of using concentrated nutrient sources offers several advantages for tree health and orchard management. This approach can enhance fruit yields, improve tree vigor, and address specific nutrient deficiencies. Historically, spreading granular fertilizers was the standard, but this more targeted approach reduces waste and optimizes nutrient uptake, contributing to environmentally conscious horticulture.
