Bonide Sucker Punch

Bonide Sucker Punch is a fast, easy-to-use growth regulator designed to prevent and control unwanted suckers and sprouts on trees and shrubs. Use it at the base of plants, along trunks, or within the canopy to help direct growth where it’s needed.

An effective training aid, Sucker Punch encourages strong, well-spaced branches that can better withstand wind and ice. Improved branch spacing also promotes better spray coverage and light penetration, supporting overall plant health and growth.

Bonide Sucker Punch is a professional-grade plant growth regulator designed to control unwanted suckers and sprouts on trees and shrubs. It inhibits new growth from roots and pruning cuts and is labeled for use on apples, olives, pears, non-bearing citrus, and a wide range of ornamental woody plants.

Use it at the base, trunk, or canopy of trees and shrubs, as well as in ornamental landscapes and interior plantscapes. The water-based formula forms a protective coating that provides control for up to six months when used as directed.

Sucker Punch is also an effective tool for training young trees. Controlling unwanted shoots encourages strong, well-spaced branches, helping improve light penetration and spray coverage while promoting better overall tree structure and resilience to wind and ice damage.
