Miracle-Gro Plant Food Spikes 2-Pack Bundle — Fruit & Citrus + Tree & Shrub, timed-release root-targeted feeding

Miracle-Gro Plant Food Spikes 2-Pack Bundle supplies timed-release, root-targeted nutrients for fruit trees, citrus, shrubs and ornamental trees in two seasonal applications.

This bundle contains one 12-pack of Miracle-Gro Fruit & Citrus Plant Food Spikes and one 12-pack of Miracle-Gro Tree & Shrub Plant Food Spikes. The spikes are made to be driven into the soil near the root zone so nutrients are delivered where plants take them up, with simple spring and fall applications. They’re compact, pre-measured and designed for homeowners who want an easy, low-mess way to feed trees, citrus and shrubs without mixing granular feeds or measuring liquid concentrates.

How do these spikes deliver plant food to trees and shrubs?

The spikes dissolve slowly in the soil, releasing fertilizer directly into the root zone so trees and shrubs can access nutrients with each watering. Placement along the drip line ensures the roots encounter the released nutrients where they are most active.

• Insert spikes around the drip line for targeted feeding
• Enclosed cap helps drive spike below the surface for secure placement
• Timed-release formulation reduces the need for repeated applications

When and how often should I use the Fruit & Citrus and Tree & Shrub spikes?

Apply once in early spring and once again in mid-fall when soil is soft and moist to allow proper insertion and nutrient uptake. Follow the label spacing and depth guidelines to avoid overconcentration in any single area.

• Two seasonal applications: early spring and mid-fall
• Drive spikes 2 inches below soil surface after removing the plastic cap
• Space spikes at least 3 feet apart; adjust closer for small specimens

What are the practical benefits of using the Fruit & Citrus vs. Tree & Shrub spikes?

Fruit & Citrus spikes are formulated to support fruit production and healthy foliage, while Tree & Shrub spikes are tuned for foliage color and overall vigor across deciduous, evergreen and flowering trees. Choosing the right spike type helps match nutrients to the plant’s seasonal needs.

• Fruit & Citrus: nutrient profile supporting fruit set and leafy growth
• Tree & Shrub: balanced nutrients for vibrant foliage and plant health
• Pre-measured spikes avoid mixing errors and reduce mess

How do I insert the spikes correctly and how many do I need?

Place the plastic cap on top of the spike and press it into the soil around the tree or shrub following the drip line. Remove the cap and continue driving the spike until it is about 2 inches below the soil surface; follow spacing recommendations on the packaging for coverage.

• Use the included driving cap to steady the spike during insertion
• For small trees with a close drip line, insert spikes about 2 feet from the trunk
• Place spikes at least 3 feet apart for larger root zones

Who is this for? This 2-pack bundle is ideal for home gardeners, orchard hobbyists and landscapers who care for fruit or citrus trees and a variety of ornamental trees and shrubs. It suits anyone who prefers hassle-free, measured feeding that targets the root zone and fits into a twice-yearly maintenance routine. If you want a tidy, low-effort way to support fruit production, leafy growth and foliage color without liquid mixing or frequent applications, this combination provides both specialized and general tree feeding options in one purchase.
