Stump-Out Stump & Vine Killer, 8 oz with Applicator

I used this on a 4 inch thick Hackberry Tree right after I cut it down and no regrowing which I’m glad. I didn’t bother using the brush. I just poured it on the stump and made sure it got covered all around the stump too. The brush would probably be ok for smaller stumps or branches. Hackberry Trees are hard to kill but this works perfect. These trees start growing everywhere as I’m sure everyone know thanks to the birds eating and carrying the seeds. Boy are the little ones that start sprouting all over from the seeds are impossible to pull out. I guess you can say that’s a good “design” on the Hackberry Trees part. They grow like weeks. That’s where the brush comes in handy is for the sprouts and small trees to be applied. Worked great for me and I’m sure it will for you too.

We have a large garden area surrounding a 2-level patio that had been let go for over 10 years when my elderly mother lived with us. Last year, we decided to clean it up but it was so overgrown with weeds, honeysuckle bushes and trees that had grown from fallen seeds, the task was insurmountable for 2 people in their late 70's. So, we hired a landscaping company to clean it up and to remove all of the unwanted bushes and trees. $7500 later, the garden area did look nicer even if they had removed some of the trees we wanted to keep and cut back and trampled on most of the hostas, brunnera, and other perennials. This year the weeds came back with a vengeance. The wild raspberries, honeysuckle bushes, and trees had been only cut back to stumps. So, they were all growing back. Since the raspberry bushes are shallow rooted, they were easy enough for me to dig out. While I removed weeds a section at a time and transplanted some of the perennials as needed, my husband dug out some of the smaller stumps, but some were just to large to remove with a shovel and a pick.. I found out about Bonide stump remover on a YouTube video and decided to try it on some of the larger stumps. This stuff really does work!! Using the brush applicator it doesn't seem like you are using enough, but you don't need much to kill a stump. We had a grapevine climbing a walnut tree that had a 3" diameter stem attached the tree and growing at least 50' into the tree. I pulled it away from the tree and cut it off with a saw at ground level. Then I applied Bonide Stump & Vine Killer to the stump. So far, this vine has not regrown or sent out new shoots. Still haven't figured out how to get the dead vine out of the tree, though. I have also stopped new growth on a walnut tree stump and a few honeysuckle bushes. Fortunately, the landscaper left a 2"-3" stump in most cases, so I cut off the top 1"-2" and apply Bonide to the fresh cut. This is important as the cut needs to be fresh for the stump killer to be absorbed by the stump to kill the roots. So far this stump and vine killer seems to be working and has help quite a bit in the cleanup of our garden area. I would recommend this product, but make sure you apply it to a fresh cut. I have added a couple of pictures of the patio garden and a couple other areas after cleanup to give you an idea of the size of this project. UPDATE 11/12/24: It has been over 3 months since I treated a number of bush and tree stumps in addition to a few huge vines that were growing up our trees. At this point, I have seen no new growth on any of the stumps and vines that I treated with this Stump & Vine killer. This stuff really does work. UPDATE 7/28/25: This year I continued with the cleanup around our patio and around the house. We had let the landscape go for a number of years and in that time huge grape vines, wild raspberries, honeysuckle bushes, and quite a few unwanted trees had planted themselves and grown quite large. This year none of the trees, bushes, and vines that had been cut and treated with Bonide Stump and Vine killer had grown back. To continue the cleanup this year, I tackled a large area in the front of the house with 3 large evergreen trees that had been overrun with weeds, wild raspberries, and grape vines grown 20 feet into the trees as well as unwanted 6-7 foot honeysuckle bushes and box elder trees that had planted themselves. One of the grape vines had more of a trunk than a stem with multiple side growths that went everywhere. I used a lopper to remove the stem growth and pulled the vines out of the surrounding trees and bushes. I used a trowel to remove the soil from around the base of the main trunk, and used a hand chain saw to cut this trunk below ground level. Then I coated the fresh cut with Bonide Stump and Vine killer. I did basically the same to remove 4 box elder trees, 3 honeysuckle bushes, a black cherry tree, and buckthorn bush. I am a 78 year old woman, and I am not about to try to dig out the roots of all of the large plants that I removed although I did remove all of the weeds and wild raspberries. This area was about 30' x 7' . Once cleared, I covered all of the ground with mulch to discourage future weed growth. This area now looks so much cleaner and nicer, and I am sure the trees and bushes I treated will not grow back. I have to say I am so happy this area is done. I hope this review was helpful for you.

I use this all the time on little stumps. I cut the invasive down and then brush the exposed stump with the herbicide. Great for killing invasive species like Bradford pears, burning, bush, etc. I just wish it had a larger brush/applicator or I could get it as a dauber!

Works pretty well. I had LOTS of small to medium woody plants/shrubs/vines that refused to be pulled ot by the roots. I tried clipping them at ground level but new twigs and leaves just kept sprouting quickly. So I clipped them off leaving just about an inch sticking out of the ground and painted the cut end with this. NO new twigs or leaves have sprouted since. I also didn't want to spread poison over my whole lawn so I love the little brush it comes with. I have an average size front- and backyard and it looks like the 8 oz bottle might cover both.

Hasn't worked for me. Trees continue to sprout after being cut down.

My yard is being overtaken by trumpet vine. It is so invasive and it was left by the previous owner. In case you dont know everywhere it lays it starts a new plant. I started using stump out and it is really working. I am so suprised. It says it can take a little bit for it to work, but the smaller the plant the faster it works and it doesn't take a whole lot. I thought how am I going to fight these vines with a little bottle and let me tell you I haven't hardly used any of the bottle and it works. I have a few that I brushed it on and then that afternoon it rained like 7 inches and it still worked. Less than a week then small vine are dead, the bigger ones are still in the process. I recommend and will buy again if needed. These plant pictured were all treated a week ago at the same time.

The sellers shipped this item in a plastic bag with scotch tape holding the top down. This product is highly toxic (it can kill small animals like cats and dogs) and it is not sealed under the cap. When I opened the plastic bag it was coated on the inside with the highly toxic chemical that can actually burn your skin. There was about 10% of the product missing and the scotch tape was dislodged. I would normally not complain about something like this but this product is so hazardous I felt like it was important to relay how improperly it was shipped. I don’t want to refund because shipping this product is not safe if the right materials are not used, I do not have this experience.

Works great!!! I had a HUGE Chinese Elm that I had cut down!! But little suckers keep popping up where ever the longest roots are!! I have to use rose pruners to cut them down to the dirt level and pour the stump killer on them!’n So far it’s working great!!!

I have bought two of these now. Does the job, as per description.

This is a repeat order and it worked the last time i used it.

Good, but needed a stronger product.

Seems to be working well

Don't know if it will work yet as only just painted the stumps, but bottle arrived damaged, leaking and only half full . Would have returned for refund but planned the cutting down so had to use it on that day
