Tree Stakes & Vineyard Posts

The dimensional tree stakes at Phoenix are often imitated but cannot be duplicated.  It is because great stakes start with great wood.  Clean, strong dimensional wood.  Not culls. From other uses.  Phoenix stock.  You can see the difference.

Phoenix has raised the performance bar with the Round Stake.  This is the stake so many orchardists are switching too.  Every season, every year, Phoenix sees more new orchards transitioning to this super strong, ultra-durable stake.  And NOBODY sells more round stakes, stocks more round stakes, and built the market for round stakes like Phoenix.

A developing trend in Pistachio tree plantings, the flexible steel stake allows for the tree to move and flex, but without concern over the tree falling down. Adaptable to other commercial nursery tree plantings.

The tree movement allows for greater root-ball development and better trunk growth. Early results tend to support that trees are healthy and further developed then trees staked with wood.

The steel stakes are a lower profile, which allows for less unimpeded branch growth. Ultimately, the goal is to get the trees to production faster.  And there is evidence to support this could be the case.

Early adopters of the Steel Central Leader Trainer Stake have also found the installation can be faster and more efficient than using a traditional wood stake.

The specific steel Phoenix uses is known for its exceptional strength and quality.  This steel will be found to consistently have 25% more tensile strength than the leading competitor.

This is not imported steel where the quality cannot be verified and trusted.  Every steel stake comes with a certificate of manufacturing quality ensuring the posts are tested and confirmed for quality.

Phoenix uses only American made steel, from US recycled steel.  Every steel stake and post, every steel product, is manufactured in the USA.  By USA employees, with USA equipment, in USA mills.

The Lodgepole Pine posts from Phoenix Enterprises are special.  They are almost “local” – they come from live forests in the heart of Central Oregon.  They are cut, logged, peeled, and dried on-site at the Mill.  The mill has the very best new equipment, and the posts frequently confused as doweled posts.

Phoenix Enterprises is the only provider of in-stock I-Posts in California, Arizona, and Mexico. I-Posts are new and unique.  With a 15-year written warranty, they are the BEST WOOD POST IN THE MARKET.  A strong Douglas Fir veneer core, the bottom 3’ incised for maximum penetration by the best treating chemical, ACZA, on the market.

Phoenix introduces Tioga Vineyard Steel, a new provider focusing on providing the highest quality steel posts, wire, and cross-arms to the vineyard industry.

Tioga will be using steel channel and t-posts from Nucor Steel Mills, the largest steel mill and manufacturer in North America, with all of its steel recycled and a “green” product.

Nucor steel is known for its exceptional strength and quality.  Nucor will be found to consistently have 25% more tensile strength than the leading competitor.  Which means fewer posts per acre.

This is not steel imported from Asia, where price is the focus, performance is sacrificed, and the quality cannot be verified and trusted.  Every Nucor steel post comes with a certificate of manufacturing quality ensuring the posts will perform as expected, where each batch is tested and confirmed for quality.

Phoenix features Nucor because most importantly, every steel post, every steel product, is manufactured in the USA.  By USA employees, with USA equipment, in USA mills.

Our goal at Phoenix and Tioga, is value and quality.  There will always be cheaper posts.  But not better, more dependable posts.
