Miracle-Gro Tree & Shrub Plant Food Spikes - 12 Spikes, 3 lb | For Deciduous, Flowering & Evergreen Trees

Smart, seasonal nutrition for trees and shrubs

Miracle-Gro Tree & Shrub Plant Food Spikes offer focused nourishment where trees and shrubs need it most: at the roots. With an NPK ratio of 15-5-10, these spikes combine nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to support healthy growth, vibrant color, and robust foliage. Their slow-release design helps maintain steady nutrients over time, giving plants a continuous feed throughout the growing season without frequent re-application.

Designed to work with a wide range of plants, this 3 lb package includes 12 spikes, making it suitable for multiple trees or a single larger specimen. The formula is compatible with deciduous, flowering, evergreen trees, and acid-loving varieties like hydrangeas, azaleas, and magnolias, helping to nurture garden diversity and visual appeal. This product reframes tree care from a one-off fertilizer to a season-long feeding plan that supports steady color and foliage development.
