Directions for Use

For Freshly Cut Tree and Shrub Stumps, Cut the stem close to the ground (November–March). Apply the weedkiller to the cut surface with a paintbrush immediately. For Standing Trees, Cut angled notches into the bark (November–March). Apply two millilitres of weedkiller per ten centimeter trunk diameter with a paintbrush. For Japanese Knotweed, Use a foliar spot application with a two percent solution when flowering (August–September).

Usage and Maintenance

Apply when weeds are actively growing and have adequate leaf area. Avoid spraying before rain. Leave treated areas seven days before digging or replanting. It can clean up weedy ground before planting vegetables, flowers, bushes, and trees. Keep children and pets away until the spray has dried.

Advantages and Disadvantages

A major advantage is its highly concentrated systemic action, which is specifically designed to kill the roots of tough, woody plants like tree stumps and Japanese knotweed, preventing regrowth. The included pipette allows for precise, targeted application. A major drawback is its non selective nature, meaning it will kill any plant it contacts. Users must treat tree stumps during the dormant season (November–March) for best results.

Cautions

Keep out of reach of children and pets. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not contaminate ponds, drains, or waterways. Store in original container, tightly closed, away from food and drink.
