Our take on the Miracle-Gro Fruit and Citrus Plant Food Spikes

Miracle-Gro Fruit and Citrus Plant Food Spikes are slow-release fertilizer stakes for fruit trees, citrus trees, shrubs and palms. Each package holds 12 spikes, and you drive them into the soil around the dripline once in early spring and again in mid-fall. The formula uses natural ingredients and is claimed to promote more fruit than unfed plants and fuller foliage on palms. At $11.99 at Blain's Farm & Fleet as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent price range across the three stores that carry it.

Pros
  • No mixing or measuring: step or mallet the spikes into the soil
  • Feeds at the root zone around the dripline
  • 12 spikes per pack covers several small trees or one large one
  • Twice-a-season schedule is easy to remember
  • Natural-ingredient formula
Cons
  • Hard ground needs watering first, and a mallet helps
  • Spikes must sit at least 3 feet apart, so large trees need many packs
  • Slow release means no quick fix for a nutrient-deficient tree
  • Easy to under- or over-apply without following the label chart
  • Not a substitute for proper soil pH and watering

About the Miracle-Gro Fruit and Citrus Plant Food Spikes

Feed your apple, orange, or palm tree - and more! - with Miracle-Gro® Fruit & Citrus 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 more fruit* in fruiting plants and lush foliage in palm trees. Use these these plant food spikes with fruit and citrus trees and plants, and also palm trees. Apply once a season in early spring and mid-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. This package contains 12 Miracle-Gro® Fruit & Citrus Plant Food Spikes. *Vs unfed plants

Questions and answers

How many spikes does one tree need?
Follow the label chart, which sets the count by trunk size. Space spikes at least 3 feet apart around the dripline, so a large tree can take most of a 12-pack.
When should I apply them?
Apply once in early spring and again in mid-fall. Water the dripline area first so the soil is soft enough to drive the spikes in.
Do they work on palms as well as citrus?
Yes. Miracle-Gro lists fruit trees, citrus and palms, and says the spikes promote lush foliage on palms and more fruit on fruiting plants versus unfed plants.
Can I use them on vegetables or houseplants?
They are formulated for trees and shrubs, not beds of annual vegetables or potted houseplants. Use a product labeled for those instead.
Is $11.99 a good price?
It is the best new price among the three stores listing it as of November 7, 2026, and sits at the low end of its recent range. Stock up in early spring or mid-fall when garden centers run seasonal sales.
