It’s expensive, but you don’t need to use much.
The directions on the bottle are a bit confusing. Cut the suckers to about six inches high, then spray sparingly (be sure to shake first). No need to saturate the leaves. After a few weeks you’ll probably have to go back and get the suckers that you missed the first time around. On one tree I had already cut the suckers to the ground, so I sprayed the stubs. It still worked great!
I have used this product on ornamental pear and cherry with excellent results. This is the first season that I’ve tried it. We’ll see what happens next year. I’ll try to report back.
2010 update – Used the product several times last year for mid-season touch ups. Sure beats pulling and cutting by hand. I got the usual crop of spring suckers, although less than years past. Hit them with the product a few days ago and they are already withering. Still have half a bottle left. Highly recommended product.

Generally works well, but does need a second application for some sprouts. Only downside is that the sprayer clogs after each use requiring soaking in warm water. Some improvement when the sprayer is flushed out after each use. Have found nothing better that does not do damage to the tree.

The secret is out! This item is perfect for those pesky suckers that pop up on your woody ornamentals. Just a few quick spritzes and VOILA!!! you are done with bending over with your clippers to banish those pesky suckers. They are stopped in their tracks. Buy it and see your gardening time cut in half. ( well, maybe one third.) I love it!

I have a large cottonwood tree in my yard. It constantly sends shoots out that pop up in our garden and grass. I spray the Sucker Stopper on the shoots and they are wilted in hours. I give it a chance to work and cut them off the next day. So far none have come back!!!!
