can the spikes be anchored to trees

As rigid as these are it would be hard to attach without breaking them, I think.

I didn't try that, but I don't think it would work. There is no way to really clean the surface of a tree to adhere the spikes. Wouldn't the tree bark eventually fall off? Maybe if you wired them or tied them onto a level surface. I saw another comment that the spikes degrade in sunlight too, so that might be a problem.

No, it has a tape to the back of it and sticks well to iron or metal bars. To be anchored to a tree I suppose you could nail through the tape.

They are designed to be taped to a smooth, solid surface, not a tree. I taped mine to my electric gate actuator, which kids waiting for a the bus were using as a sitting spot. Seems to be working.

No, you still need to utilize a citrus-oriented fertilizer in the soil. The citrus fertilizer spikes supposedly work well for larger trees although I haven't used them personally (cannot be used for potted trees.)

Yes - they work very well in trees. You'll need additional chain or rope to do so.

Yes these would work on a tree. If would be best to attach it to a more flat part of the tree though. I have them attached to studs in our wall in be basement and they hold strong with simple screws from Lowes.

If your pot is bigger than the spread of the leaves, I would say yes. The spikes are supposed to be inserted into the ground/dirt at the drip line (edge) of the tree.

You can anchor it to anything but I don't think the posts are suitable for anchoring in the ground. They are too short and hollow. I think in time they would settle and then lower your roof. Mixing the concrete for the footing was probably the easiest part of the whole thing. Don't know why you'd skip it.

Yes, you do need hardware to hang on a tree. My suggestion to you would be to go to Lowe's. They deal with this all the time and can hand pick the items you need. This is what I did.

The number of spikes used is based on the size of the tree. Take a look at the product label for the coverage recommendations.

I believe instructions are to use one spike per inch diameter, not circumference. Check the instructions again to confirm. I am certain that you do not need 18 spikes for your tree.

For typical yard, very easy setup with the spikes that support the poles. I purchased this for use at my daughter's school, and where they were setting up for play at a particular area, we were not allowed to spike into the grass. We were able to improvise using small, heavy metal blocks that I looped the support lines over. I would guess on a sand pit area, you could probably do the same thing with stone blocks or something similar.

Not really. It is set-up for attaching to a swing set. If there were toggle bolts into the tree you could attach it.

We have the spikes on the tops of outdoor sconces where nails or screws would damage the sconces. If you're putting them on wood, then screws or nails would work

Yes, it could be attached to a tree. We bought it to go with the swingset we purchased for the grandkids, since they only had a swing attached to a tree.

Comes with a cheap cord (buy some paracord) It's one long triangular tube. So run the cord through it, then tie to trees. (no spikes aka tent pegs included or needed.)

We used the spikes it comes with, but it did blow over once so we added 2 U Bolts pounded into the ground on each side to secure additionally.

I have two of these and they are hung on two different limbs of a chestnut tree and are very solid and have proved to be safe. My belief is that they could be hungfrom the sides of s STURDY deck, and be safe.

I got 12" metal spikes from Home Depot to stick into the ground (dirt). To secure better than that, you may want to consider pouring quick dry cement 1st, then use the spikes.
