I’d like to see the after effects of the treatment.

[@martinowings3597]

That happened to us and a cherry tree. We paid lots of money to have our trees trimmed and this cherry tree taken out and then they say NOTHING about the tree suckers that would result. I was just digging them out of the lawn and cutting the roots but they keep coming back as you said. So now I am going to try painting with an herbicide! Thanks for telling us what the "professional" should be telling us when they cut down an invasive tree!

Do you have a follow-up video to show how it worked

Gawd, I can feel that in my back already. What about mowing high and then do a dribble from the sprayer standing up. Too much collateral damage? Now that you've done it, does it work? Video proof.

[@LizLeafloor]

Thank you for this helpful video! I have a chokecherry tree in my backyard and I want to manage (kill) the suckers it sends out, but NOT the tree itself. I have heard if I use glyphosate in this manner, I will hurt the tree. Do you know of a way? (right now, I'm using a blade to cut the suckers under the soil and pull them up, but I can tell I'll have to do this a LOT. :(

[@kimgrey9454]

Cut the roots on all sides of the suckers, then do that treatment.

[@auxo.chrome]

Thank you for this - I have a ton of what I thought were maple, walnut and mimosa seedlings that keep coming up in my back yard, so I'm really hoping this works. Would you need to reapply the roundup after rain?

[@peziki]

Yes, water will wash it off. It will be okay if the Roundup has at least two hours before the rain, so watch the forecast and do it on a dry morning.

[@lcglazer]

So this method kills the plant and the root, but do you still need to pull the plant and roots out after they die? Or do you just let them decompose?

[@simplyrelaxedvideos]

Anyone know which roundup he's using? There's brush killer and then regular round up...

[@kittybearbop]

Thank you for sharing this approach. Would this affect the mother grove of aspen? Also, would this method work for something like Japanese Knotweed? And if my province only allows residential use of the pre-mixed roundup, will that work?

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

The amount being applied is quite small and won't affect the mother plant. It does work with knotweed - but that is a tough customer that might need more than one application.

[@kimgrey9454]

Monsanto had an advertising slogan several years ago 'a drop will do' meaning a very small amount will kill the whole plant and its roots. If you want the mother plant you must separate the sucker roots before Appling the round up!

[@Trafford92]

I have suckers growing from several roots of a cotton less cottonwood tree I had removed last December. Would your Roundup procedure work to kill the suckers? Thanks

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

If the suckers are growing from a root system then yes. If they are sucking from the base of the main tree than no.

[@helenayew]

How long does it take to kill the roots? Do you still need to dig out the roots after they are killed?

[@paulineanderson3985]

Been watching your videos for a while now, appreciate the practical no nonsense approach to gardening! I am in zone 5, simcoe county, may I ask where you purchase and which specific version of round-up you use in this eradication method. Thks in advance for your help.

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

I have some left from the good old days when I could buy farm grade. Try TSC for a concentrated form.

[@highpriestessmoon]

I have a tree that drops those helicopter type seeds everywhere. I got a lot of saplings growing last summer, and it got a bit out of control because I was out of town for a few months. Some of the saplings got as tall as me and kind of thick. Will this still work for that?

[@peziki]

Yes, just apply to the saplings as this vid shows.

[@Devo491]

A brew of 50/50 Roundup and methylated spirits is much more effective than any water mix. I use a spray bottle to apply to any (freshly-cut) stump. It works on tree-stumps, suckers, and any weeds too big to pull. But get a good-quality spray bottle! A laundry or car-care castoff bottle will last a long time, and not leak.

[@owenenriquez9039]

Hello my apple tree fell down from a strong wind, now I got plenty of root suckers from the apple tree roots. Are they ( suckers from apple tree roots) good to grow and have fruits? Thanks

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

Not unless it was a wild apple tree. Most apple trees are grafted.

[@SM-dd9du]

Question, what if the tree suckers are attached to the root of a living 'olive type' tree? Can I still use round up? Thank you.

[@peziki]

If you don't apply to the olive tree, it should be okay. The Roundup must be applied to an open wound of your subject, then it only along the root itself of the plant you painted.

[@CoolQuokka]

will this kill the mother plant? dealing with cottonwood suckers 30 feet from the tree

[@lj5585]

Thanks for your video. I should have guessed that Round Up was the product to use. Can't wait to start sawing down my two elms and getting all the suckers.. Diseased mother tree, almost 3 stories , to be tackled by pros.

[@renateletts4378]

I have a Buckthorn that I love but it has runners everywhere. Will the mother plant die if I treat only the runners with Roundup?

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

If this is a larger tree - it should be fine.

[@darwin666]

Should I be using the brush , stump , grass and weed round up concentrate or just the grass and weed concentrated round up ?

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

Both will work. The brush one might be more effective, but look at the glyphosate concentration - higher is better.

[@catbee1452]

How do I remove root suckers that are coming from a viable plum tree? The suckers are popping up all around the trunk of the plum tree (2-3' radius); its taking over the garden area making it more and more unusable. I'm assuming these suckers are coming from one of the main roots on the plum tree. Please advise and thank you for your video:)

[@lettucesalad3560]

A lot of herbicides include different herbicides and additives.. so I wouldn't recommend using no gloves/protective equipment unless you're 100% sure it's only Roundup.

Is the roundup used in this way safe and most importantly non toxic for pets? I have these all over my yard and would like to do this this spring but I’m afraid of having the yard with roundup around the dogs. Thanks for the great content!

[@efuller6770]

I have been working on a sucker problem for years and strongly prefer less industrial chemicals. His claim that it is less toxic than vinegar is a patent lie and I would not trust a damn thing he says on the subject. However, this is an appropriate, limited use application. I would keep my pets out of the area for awhile but sometimes the best tool is one we don't like, if you were burning off a field you wouldn't let your pets play in the fire... there is a breakdown of the chemicals over time, and this is a limited application. It is about as safe and proper as it can be even if his claims are ridiculous.

I am trying to prepare soil in a back yard that's full of scrub weeds and foxtails, for grass to be planted. I had a bunch of these sucker weeds in my yard, some knee-high, and dug many out. After a few days I realized the task is too much for me. The roots are pretty dense and interconnected. Some are as thick as my wrist and deep. Should I use your Roundup method to paint the roots I encounter, or just rake the soil back over the roots, wait for suckers to reappear, then apply as in your video? I don't want to harm the actual nearby trees, but I want to be able to run a tiller in there to prepare the soil for grass seed without wrecking it on a mess of roots. Thanks!

[@kimgrey9454]

Wait for them to re-sprout then spray the weeds. Roundup does not move thru the soil and is in fact neutralized when it hits bare soil.

[@StacyWayneGacy]

Thanks!

[@T-Geiger97]

Can you dig up that root and do the round up on the root to kill all of them that way? Also if you do this method to a mother tree that is still alive or will it eventually harm/kill the mother tree?

When the leaves of the pest plant have drooped and dried, it is okay to mow. 3-4 days.

I wonder whether this can be done in late winter, before they have new growth? We would like to take care of this problem as soon as possible. We have an un-landscaped back yard. Some invasive willows in the irrigation canal on the other side of our back wall have migrated across to this side. Lots! The previous owner obviously just kept cutting down he suckers and not treating them. They are about 2-3 feet tall, in clusters of many thin willow clusters that come up from the same area.

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

No - the plant needs to be actively taking nutrients into the roots.

Thank you for your comment about Roundups safety,people really fear it. The only caution about using roundup for this purpose is that it is a systemic which means if the mother tree/plant is still wanted the roundup will travel thru the whole root system and kill it as well as the suckers. If you dont want the mother, go for it! If you want it you have to cut the root of the sucker to separate it and protect the mother.
