About this item

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, start by thoroughly watering around your tree or shrub's dripline (follow the image on the label) to soften the soil. Use the chart on the label to determine the correct number of tree spikes, and place spikes around the tree's dripline at least 3 feet apart. Drive spikes into the ground in by stepping on them or using a rubber mallet until the spike is below the surface of the soil. 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.
