Roundup Tree Stump Weedkiller, Super Concentrate 250 ml

Product Information

Glyphosate: Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide that travels within the stump’s vascular system to kill the roots. It’s useful in killing green stumps. This is the best solution. Ideally the stump should be removed entirely, but if this is not possible alternative methods usually give satisfactory results.

Another type of stump that’s a good candidate for chemical removal is a dead or “seasoned” stump. Although these stumps are incapable of sending up new shoots, they can be hazardous or stand in the way of new landscaping plans. In this case, the stump-removal product will contain a chemical that hastens the degradation of the old wood, which can take a few months or longer. Glyphosate will not leach into the soil. Once it has entered a plant, it will not migrate to another plant. Using a chainsaw, cut the stump low to the ground and remove side bark to reveal as much surface area as possible. While the stump-killing active ingredients in Tordon may not be easy on the environment, it doesn’t take a lot of this product to work. When used responsibly, Tordon can be a very effective and reasonably safe way of killing an offending tree stump. To use, apply Tordon only in the ring that circles the stump where the bark meets the wood, which is called the cambium. From there, it will soak into the stump’s root system, killing off any living tissue. Drill holes in the surface of the stump (more than a few inches in diameter). Alternatively, use a chainsaw to cut grooves on the stump’s surface.Obviously, this is something you want to avoid, so it is best to use a product that works deep down to destroy the roots and prevent regrowth. When it comes to finding the best tree stump killer for your needs, there are various factors you should take into consideration. This will make it easier for you to find the right one for your individual needs. Some of the main factors you need to consider are: The Price If you are dealing with a small tree or plant, you can spray its foliage with Roundup and let it get absorbed completely. Make sure there is no water on the leaves while spraying as it reduces its absorption. For smaller trees the stumps can be pulled out with a winch. These can be hired by gardeners with the knowledge to use them safely. For leverage it is necessary to leave a good sized stub on the stump (up to 1.2m (4ft) high) rather than cutting it off at ground level. Apply a weedkiller directly to the stump, concentrating it in the outer ring of live tissue just beneath the bark

Yes, it will, although Roundup is most effective when it is absorbed by the leaves, delivering it straight to the cambium layer of the stump is effective. This is why you should drill holes into the stump and fill them with Roundup. This means it gets absorbed by the foliage and the leaves of the tree, and then transported throughout the plant through its vascular system. You can start seeing the results within a couple of weeks. That said, some of the most effective stump killers use chemicals such as triclopyr and picloram; these herbicides pose a threat to wildlife and can even cause collateral damage to nearby shrubs and trees. Before reaching for these products, consider using one of the natural alternatives discussed below.These products can help to get your garden looking neater and tidier, help reduce the risk of nasty accidents, and help to protect your home by eliminating tree stumps.

How We Chose the Best Stump Killers We kept in mind that stump-killing needs vary. Some users want to get rid of old, seasoned stumps, so we included products that help dead stumps decompose faster. Others are looking to stop volunteer trees from growing where they shouldn’t be growing, and we also considered that need. For best results using Roundup to kill stumps, drill several 1–2 inch (2.5–5 cm) deep holes in the stump and fill them with Roundup. Spray the product, which contains the active ingredient triclopyr, until all exposed surfaces on the stump are thoroughly wet but not dripping. Also saturate any new shoots that may be growing from the stump. BioAdvanced is formulated to penetrate deep into the stump and work its way down to the roots; it will kill and hasten decomposition.

Another thing to keep in mind is that tree stumps can take an astonishing amount of time to decompose, with some taking up to ten years! While using chemicals is one way to kill a tree stump, a cheap and easy method is to deprive it of sunlight using this plastic sheeting from Frost King. To use this sheeting, cut the stump as close to the ground as possible, then cover the stump and its exposed roots with the sheeting. Pile about a foot of organic waste onto the tarp for good measure and wait it out. If you want to get your garden into shape, improve safety for the kids, or use the ground for something else, this is not really a reasonable amount of time to wait. Again, using the right products will help to kill the tree stump swiftly and efficiently. The Bottom Line One of the things you need to look at when choosing a tree stump killer for your outdoor area is the cost of the product. Prices can vary from one product to another, so make sure you keep an eye on this.
