    Leave them for the birds unless they may fall on a building, vehicle, livestock, pet or person. Do not climb up into tree and start waving chain saw around without appropriate additional equipment, procedures and training. Do not fertilize with spikes, they are inefficient. Do not fertilize with anything without sampling soil and having it tested, following soil analysis report recommendations. Do protect root zone of tree from compaction by mulching with wood chips.
