Each 12-count package contains spikes designed to be driven below the soil surface and release natural and essential plant nutrients where roots absorb them most. The 2-pack provides twelve spikes per bag, enough to treat multiple trees and reduce the guesswork of measuring granular or liquid fertilizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these spikes supply nutrition to my fruit trees?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spikes are formulated at a 10-15-15 NPK ratio and dissolve slowly to release nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium into the surrounding root zone. Placing them around the dripline directs nutrients where feeder roots are concentrated, improving uptake efficiency compared with surface-applied fertilizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-15-15 NPK for balanced fruit and foliage support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlow-release delivery directly to roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for insertion into soft soil around the dripline\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContains natural ingredients to complement soil biology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen and how often should I use the Miracle-Gro spikes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the spikes twice a year—once in early spring as growth begins and once again in mid-fall to prepare trees for the dormant season. Follow label spacing guidance and insert spikes into soft soil with a rubber mallet or by stepping gently on them; space spikes at least three feet apart and consult the package chart for the exact number required per tree size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEarly spring application for spring growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMid-fall application for seasonal maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrive into soil at the tree dripline for best results\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse the label chart to determine spike count per tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich plants can I feed with these spikes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese spikes are made for citrus and a wide range of fruit trees—lemons, limes, oranges, apples, avocados—and they are also suitable for palm trees.
