Sprayed or brushed sucker tips are controlled!
Great stuff! Once suckers are trimmed back spraying or brushing this on the tips eliminates any additional growth!

Awesome product!
I love Aspen trees but the grow new starts from the roots. I found this product is VERY effective in stopping the new starts. I just snip the new growth to expose thr main stem, put a drop of this on the cut and the growth disappears and does not come back. My lawn looks much better without the quick growing sucker's coming up. Takes a couple of weeks to catch them all but this product does a great job!

works!
Product is effective however the spray is a stream and covers a minimal area.

It works!
We have a big backyard with many crepe myrtles lining both sides of our fence. This is the 2nd time that we have bought the Sucker Punch and IT WORKS. It is pricey for sure, but it sure beats being out in the heat and humdity of the summer trying to cut back all of the suckers on our crepe myrtles. I always cut the suckers back as closely as possible and then spray them. I normally will have to go back a 2nd time to only get a few here or there that were missed and that's it! I am pretty much a tight wad but do not mind paying the price for something that works and keeps me out of the miserable humidity of our summers.

Terrible Nozzle Design
I have trees in my landscaping that grow the little "tree suckers" like they are going out of style. I have used weed killer in the past but I always worried about it harming the tree. Then I ran across this product and thought I would give it a try. Firstly, it works. But, it only works in the short term. Secondly, the spray nozzle does not adjust to make the product spray in a cone; it comes out like a tight stream bullet. That makes it difficult to target those tiny little sprigs sticking out of the ground that you just freshly cut (per the instructions). I went though over half the bottle on the first application. Like I said at the beginning, it works but I won't be buying it again. I'm going back to Roundup.

Really works
This is the best product for sucker growth on my trees. The spray bottle is the best application method as I have found out the hard way. However, this product was packaged with flour for baking and did not understand this decision from my perspective as toxic with food?????

It works!
I used to have two mature Callery pear trees (Pyrus calleryana), a deciduous tree native to China and Vietnam. They were planted by the home’s previous owner. While they certainly provided shade for home and lawn, not to mention a beautiful fiery display in the autumn (and a foul dead fish odor in the spring), they had to go. These trees are fragile and break, and destroy native plants nearby. They spread like weeds!One bright, hot day in September 2023, the tree in the backyard dropped three branches on the roof. Thankfully no one was hurt, and the damage was minimal. They had to go! A tree service chopped them down two days later. Fast forward to 2025, I needed something to kill the suckers still sprouting up from leftover roots in the soil. Sucker Punch does what the manufacturer says it does. With a bottle in hand, I continue my endless war with unwanted Callery suckers poking up through the soil. As the Bradford is a cultivar of the Callery, it, too, will whither and die from an application of Sucker Punch. The surrounding grass is fine.

The product works. The spray is terrible.
The contents of the bottle seem to work fine at sealing the wounds on the tree where suckers were cut off. This prevents new suckers from growing in their place. The problem (other than it being stupid expensive) is that the sprayer shoots out a stream of goop. There are two settings on the sprayer, one for a stream, one for a mist. Both settings produce a stream. So, I had to go find an old paint brush to spread the goop around once I sprayed it. It seems pointless to even offer it in a spray bottle if you have to spread it with a brush. Just offer it in a can (for less money) with instructions to spread it with a paint brush. They do offer it that way, but in a much larger quantity for an even stupider amount of money.Will probably try a different product next time.
