Tree Stump Killer Root Killer Prfessional Roundup Tree Stump & Root Killer 250ml

Product Information

Stump and root killers currently on the market are those containing glyphosate (e.g. Roundup Stump Killer,Doff Tree Stump & Tough Weedkiller and Westland Resolva ProTree Stump killer) or triclopyr (Vitax SBK Brushwood Killer). Considering how effective this product can be, it’s one of the best tree stump killers for stopping tree growth and damaging the roots themselves. Plus, it’s not overly expensive considering the quantity provided. When I tested Doff, I found that this 1-litre product will, when diluted, treat up to 400 sq metres, so it is perfect for almost all domestic gardens. If you still have questions regarding the use and application of tree stump killers, we provided the answers for these questions. How soon should I apply the tree stump killer after cutting down the tree?

For an inexpensive chemical-based tree stump killer, Bonide (BND272) – Ready to Use Stump Remover does a good job killing stumps by accelerating their decomposition without the need to chop at the stump or resort to more aggressive measures. It also allows you to burn the stump down to the root and get the job done in a shorter time. With both tree stumps and other vegetation (ivy/brambles, etc.) it doesn’t cause the plant itself to rot, but does seem to kill it from the root (as advertised) and stop it from growing anymore. This can mean that the tree stump is a little harder to dig out than when using other products, as it doesn’t turn as soft. So, it is definitely the cheapest, but definitely not the strongest stump killer on the market, which leaves us asking – is it really worth it? Chemical stump-removal products help kill any size stump that would be challenging to remove manually. Smaller stumps that are less than a couple of inches in diameter may be worth digging out to get rid of them sooner. Working Time Grubbing out by hand or mechanical mini-excavator removes the majority of the root system. Removal is easiest if trees are cut down so that a significant length of trunk remains to give leverage to help in removal. Landscape contractors are often skilled at stump removal, but you can hire mini-excavators and operators separately.

Since the active ingredients in the liquid speed up the decay of the wood, it can work on different tree species and of all sizes. All you need to do is dig four holes in the stump, pour the granules into the holes then add water. It usually takes between 4 to 6 weeks for the stump to decompose. If you’re in a hurry, just pour gasoline over the granules and set the stump on fire. It will turn into ash within a few hours. You should use chemical treatments rather than chainsaw or hand cut ringbarking to kill standing trees. Ringbarking is not always effective and weakens the stem of the tree. In strong winds or heavy snow trees can snap where they were cut and be a safety hazard. Another option is to hire a landscape gardener who can remove the stump using a mini-excavator or stump grinder. You could also hire these machines yourself; however, this should only be considered if you’re already experienced with how to use them. One sachet contains enough Resolva to treat three tree stumps of between 10 – 15 cm in diameter, and the liquid can be applied directly from the sachet itself.

The sachet will need to be opened directly over the tree stump that you want to get rid of. Some of the products on this list are specifically designed for medium to large size tree stumps.

These are hammered into the base of the tree stump and left there. The nails damage the growth cells and the copper eventually kills the stump. There are mixed opinions about how well this method actually works, and if the copper has any part to play in the tree’s demise.
