Sucker-Stopper®

Sucker-Stopper® solves one of the most persistent and frustrating orchard maintenance problems — the endless regrowth of suckers and sprouts from tree roots and pruning wounds. Cut a sucker back and it regrows. Cut it again, it regrows again. A single application of Sucker-Stopper® stops that cycle for up to 5 months, preventing sucker regrowth from both root suckers and pruning wounds so you can stop spending the summer fighting growth that shouldn’t be there. Controls suckers on apples, pears, olives, non-bearing citrus, and ornamental woody plants.

Stop the Regrowth Cycle — Up to 5 Months of Control

The frustration with suckers isn’t just that they appear — it’s that cutting them back without treatment accomplishes almost nothing. They regrow, often more vigorously than before, and the cycle of cutting and regrowing continues all season long. Sucker-Stopper® breaks that cycle at the source by treating the wound or root area where suckers emerge, preventing new growth for up to 5 months with a single application. One treatment in spring or after pruning can eliminate the recurring problem for the entire growing season.

Treat Early — Before Suckers Reach 10 Inches

Timing matters for maximum effectiveness. Apply Sucker-Stopper® before new growth suckers reach 10 inches in length — the earlier the treatment, the better the result. Thoroughly cover the primary wound or the area where existing sprouts have been removed. For root suckers, treat at the base where they emerge. For pruning wounds, treat immediately after cutting.

Controls Root Suckers and Pruning Wound Sprouts

Sucker-Stopper® addresses both common sucker sources simultaneously — the root suckers that emerge from the base and root zone of trees, and the vigorous sprouts that consistently emerge from pruning wounds if left untreated. That dual coverage makes it a practical solution for any tree management situation where persistent regrowth is the problem.
