Your cart is empty.Feed your biggest and most impressive plants - your trees! - with Miracle-Gro® Tree & Shrub Plant Food Spikes. These plant food spikes contain natural ingredients, and provide nutrition directly to the roots where trees need it most. In addition, these tree fertilizer spikes promote vibrant color and foliage. For use with deciduous, flowering, and evergreen trees and shrubs, these plant food spikes are also great for acid-loving plants. Apply once a season in spring and fall for best results. To use, place the enclosed plastic cap on top of the spike and drive it into the ground around the tree or shrub following the drip line (as shown in the label illustration). Remove the plastic cap and continue to drive the spike 2 inches below the soil surface. Spikes should be placed at least 3 feet apart. For small trees and shrubs with a drip line closer than two feet, insert spikes two feet away from the center of the tree or shrub. This package contains 12 Miracle-Gro® Tree & Shrub Plant Food Spikes.

These work great however they are for more foliage growth than shrubs or trees that flower. They still have everything you need for a flowering shrub or tree and are fine to use of course but more nitrogen means more foliage growth rather than flowering. Last year my azalea shrub got hit really badly in the extreme cold blast we had in mid to late February of 2023, and I actually thought it killed my azalea shrub the foliage was totally burnt by all the very extreme cold temperatures we had for 3 days straight. My azalea shrub completely dropped all its evergreen leaves in spring and began flushing out new foliage. I treated the shrub with one of these sticks knowing I wouldn’t get any blooms all season because the shrub needed the extra nitrogen boost to recover from the winter damage it suffered. It put on all new growth and foliage and it’s looking really healthy, and with spring 2024 right around the corner I’m hoping I will see some blooms this spring. I would definitely use this fertilizer again. I got great results with it. I will say getting these in the ground is a bit frustrating. I actually dug out a small hole in the drip line on either side of the shrub and broke the fertilizer stick in half and dropped them in each hole covered them and watered them in really well. Works like a charm. Just take a good shovel or a small garden tool and give the fertilizer stick a good wack right in the middle.

Our usual fertilizer got over so decided to get these spikes form after a recommendation from our friend. This was super easy to use and seems to have all required nutritions for citrus or any fruit tree. The spike cap that was provided broke for me after 2 spike installation. This maybe a little expensive too compared to other competitive options. Overall still recommended one.

Started using this a little over a year ago on a small pine tree that wasn't looking so good. You add it to the soil every 6 months so I have just added the 3rd dose of it this week. The tree is already looking so much better even after only a few doses. This comes as stakes that you hammer into the soil about 3 feet from the trunk of the tree in 4 evenly spaced places around the tree. There is a removable cap that you use to protect the top of the stake when hammering it in. It goes in a lot easier if the soil around the tree is wet and soft so if it hasn't rained recently you will need to water the ground to soften it up before adding this. The only "Con" I have is that some of the stakes arrived broken. I don't know if they shipped that way or if they broke during shipping. Not a huge deal it just means you will have to dig a small hole to put the stakes in, instead of just being able to hammer them into the dirt. I will be buying these again and have already added installing them to my routine yard card "To Do" lists.

Always a trusted fertilizer. I’ve used these for years and they work well, as long as you water a day before, so the ground is soft enough so you can pound them in.

First of all, let me say ALWYS make a starter hole for the fertilizer spikes, because obviously they're going to break if you pound them directly into dry soil! I make a hole just by rocking my spade back and forth. Then I use a rubber mallet gently to tap it in. That said… The first time I bought these was 4 years ago when I bought my house and found a very sick Molusk Azalea. Probably many other people would have just pulled it out and tossed it. I put these around it and I did use 4 even though it was a small plant. I thought well it can't make it any worse! The following spring the plant had twice as many leaves on it and actually had some new growth and it flowered beautifully. The next year, same. I didn't bother to put any more spikes down because I thought it was well. Third year I had no flowers though the plant still looked healthy. So, I just purchased these again and put three of them around the base of the little Azalea. The rest of them I'm taking over to my daughters to put around a very sad looking lilac tree. I know they'll make it well! These are great, excellent product.

I picked up 3 fruit tree saplings around 3' tall that someone had put out by the curb and planted them way in the back of the property. The apple had looked most promising but has been the slowest grower with very few leaves over the past 3 years. But I never put these in as they should have been and the soil is rocky. The other two are peach trees and the main part of both died and are surviving with suckers off the roots. One is near useless and off the edge and might not survive. The other with two suckers has one that is straight up and tied to a pole and doing well this year. Even though it's a little late for the spikes, it's better than never. They don't get full sun and I didn't want to have to water them as much anyway with the rocky soil. I had to put up wire around these saplings to keep the deer from chewing on them, which is what happened to the apple tree. The wire is only 4' and the peach is already past the top. Insects are another issue, I would have liked these spikes to help with. I have some dry spread for the insects, but isn't meant for young trees. 3 spikes were broken but I used a small shovel anyway as the spikes would have broken in the rocky soil. Being what they are and looking back, I should have done my homework as I might have had much larger and healthier trees by now.
