Miracle-gro 4851012 Tree Shrub Fertilizer Spikes 12 Pack

Product Description

The MIRACLE-GRO 4851012 is a 12-pack of tree and shrub fertilizer spikes designed to deliver nutrients directly into the root zone of established trees and shrubs. Each spike is driven into the soil around the drip line, bypassing the surface entirely and eliminating runoff. The formula is suited for both deciduous and flowering trees and shrubs, releasing a blend of nutrients at the root level where uptake is most efficient. Application is once per season in spring and fall. Landscape professionals, arborists, and experienced groundskeepers use these spikes as a clean, low-labor feeding method.

These fertilizer spikes are designed for use around ornamental trees, flowering shrubs, deciduous shade trees, and mixed landscape beds. The spike format works in residential and commercial landscape settings where broadcast fertilizer application is impractical or undesirable. Spring application supports new growth and canopy development. Fall application prepares root systems for dormancy. No measuring, mixing, or sprayer equipment is required.

Installation Notes

Spikes are typically installed by driving them into moist soil around the drip line of the tree or shrub using a mallet and the included or standard spike driver. Space spikes evenly around the perimeter according to trunk diameter or canopy spread. Do not place spikes directly against the trunk or main stem. Follow all local regulations regarding fertilizer application near water features, storm drains, or protected soil areas.
