Bonide Vine & Stump Killer With Applicator Concentrate 8 Oz, 2 Pack

Took down a black gum tree because it was messy and branchingout over my chimney. It got its revenge by sending out about 500 shoots all over my and my neighbor's properties. We tried roundup in the summer when we first started noticingthe shoots, which did absolutely nothing. Found a university extension report online that said to apply glyphosate/roundup in the FALL and winter, not in spring or summer, followed by this stuff after the glyphosate appeared to kill it (dead looking leaves). For gum trees, it's best to cut the shoots down after the roundup/glyphosate has worked, then apply this to the stubs. It took us over a year to figure this out so I hope I'm this info helps someone. It was a tedious battle but we won eventually.

I moved into a house about 3 years ago and have been plagued with pesky trees and vines growing along my fence line and garage. I tried "natural" solutions but nothing worked. This is super easy to apply, extremely effective at killing the plant after applying to any part of the branch/stump. And, I am proud to say that I no longer have trees ruining my property. The amount of liquid you get here can kill quite a lot of trees, or a couple really stubborn ones (I am looking at you, mulberry). Definitely worth the purchase and I definitely will purchase again.

The product takes some time to work, but it does kill raspberry and blackberry bushes. I snip them off, painted the end with the attached brush, and waited. In a few weeks I can go out and pull them out of the ground (I have pretty loose garden soil). I knew it was working since the leaves on the stumps were yellowing and the cut tips were browning down a few inches. I ordered the two pack and my only complaint was that one of them leaked and the inside of the box was wet on one side. Otherwise, I would have rated a 5 star for the product alone. I'm sure some bushes will come back in the spring, but I will just repeat the easy procedure.

Read the instructions! This is a small bottle. But it goes a very long way if YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! One application on a tree stump, and DONE! I have a lot left.

This product is great for woody plants provided you cut the shrub / tree as close to the ground as possible and try to cut some vertical slashes into the trunk as well. Paint the cuts liberally. The only reason I've given it three stars was because it arrived at my house leaking.

This stuff really does work. I’ve used it full strength and diluted per bottle instructions. I’ve ordered more for stubborn trash shrubs and trees.

This doesn’t kill the plant roots….used two bottles and the plant is leafing again…. A waste of money

This is the only thing I’ve found that prevents Asian Bush Honeysuckle, poison ivy and black walnut trees from resprouting from their roots. Only 1 careful application with included brush is needed. Works best if applied to stump/stem within 10 minutes of cutting. Also works best in the fall when sap is returning to the roots.
