    I meant to update, so I am doing it now.
    Last year our poplar tree was cut down. Shortly after, little suckers were popping up by the hundreds all over! Invading raised/ flower beds, lawn, around its own stump...it was horrible!
    Anyway, I applied this method 3 times (it rained) and didn't think it worked at all! I though what a load of crap (I feel guilty because I should have KNOW better that this man tells the truth!)
    Then, this year, FINALLY! No more suckers anywhere! I didn't realize that perhaps to kill suckers from that type of a tree, might take few months (and over Winter).
    Thank you Mr. Pavlis for your help, time and informative videos and blog!
    💐💐💯👍👍👍

    A small dark glass bottle with an eye dropper can serves as well to get rid of these suckers from trees, wisteria vines or whatever. The eyedropper lets you put Roundup or its equivalent direct on the small stump.
    Also, be careful with applying this close to plants you want to grow. The Roundup I sprayed on some unwanted plants appears to have killed some wanted blueberries a couple of feet away. I suspect that even though I was spraying it on the leaves it moved through the roots of the plants it was killing to those blueberries.

      One person uses glyphosate and doesn't get cancer - that really isn't how "evidence" works.
      You need to contact everyone who was in the area while you were spraying over the last 10 years... if EVERY SINGLE ONE of them is healthy, and the numbers are high enough (in the thousands) then that would be some evidence of it's safety.

    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.

      @Devo491, that's just it. We had it professionally removed tree and only later we learned that the fresh stump should have been "suffocated" to prevent suckering from our poplar tree. And while your idea might work just as well, it's the overspray I would worry about.

    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.

      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?

      1 liter bottle, "ROUNDu Advanced, acetic acid, grass and weed control, fast acting, rapid burndown formula, for non-selective control of broadleaf and grassy weeds in and around the garden"
      I applied this roundup in exact method as shown in this video about few weeks after the big poplar tree was cut down in early last Spring (beginning of May, 2023, zone 4). I applied 3 times 1 to 2 weeks apart, as we had rains.
      Throughout the Summer, new suckers were popping up everywhere (I wrote about it so I don't want to repeat myself). I kept applying then gave up. The suckers "won" BUT!!!! This year, not one survived! No more suckers anywhere! So it does work. However, aspen tree might need more applications when I red, it says:
      "although yellow-poplar is heavier and harder than aspen, aspen is higher in shock resistance. Big tooth aspen and aspen weigh the same, but big tooth aspen is harder and tests hi~her in all strength proper- ties except shock resistance or toughness".
      You might find stronger and more specific roundup where you live? I don't know. In Ontario everything that worked on plants before, is banned.
