- 15-7-6 Formula
- 40 Feeding Stakes
- Plastic Drive Caps
- Feeds About 8 Trees
Fertilizer Stakes for Shrubs & Trees 15-7-6 are made for straightforward, once-a-year feeding on most deciduous trees and shrubs. The higher nitrogen blend supports steady leaf and shoot growth, while the phosphate and potash help round out root support and overall plant performance. Each box includes 40 stakes (about 1" diameter x 8" long) and typically feeds for around 12 months. We like these because they deliver reliable nutrition right in the feeder-root zone.
The specially designed caps let you tap stakes into softer soil with a small mallet, and the placement method helps reduce waste by keeping nutrients close to where roots can absorb them. One box is generally enough to feed about eight 3-inch diameter trees, which makes it easy to estimate how many boxes you’ll need for a property. It’s also backed by the A.M. Leonard 30-Day Down to Earth Guarantee for added confidence.

Product Tips
- Place stakes evenly around the dripline rather than close to the trunk.
- Water after installation to begin moving nutrients into the root zone.
- If soil is dry or compacted, water first to soften the ground before driving stakes.
- Use a small mallet on the drive caps to seat stakes cleanly and reduce cracking.
- For best coverage, avoid clustering all stakes on one side of the plant.
