Bonide Vine & Stump Killer With Applicator Concentrate 8 Oz

Seems to be working well

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

Good, but needed a stronger product.

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

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

does the job properly

Used this product on brambles and they have grown back 😕

So far so good, needed it because blackberry shoots was growing through my new hedge even though I didn't plant any blackberry plants. Seems to be working I cut the blackberry shoots right back and applied the product. Looking at it yesterday seems to be working but you must cut back all blackberry shoots and apply the product to each individual shoot for it to work and give the shoots couple coats with brush provided. Plus needs 24 hours of no rain for it to work. For me as I said so far so good but had to wait for winter months to apply when leaves fallen of my hedge to get to blackberry shoots that started growing through my hedge. Plus you won't see a result straight away can take weeks to see if it has worked but for me I'm hoping I've tackled my blackberry shoots coming up in the wrong spot, as where I live I've noticed blackberry shoots coming up in quite a few gardens even though the owners haven't planted any.

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.

The product works great. This shipment the outside of the bottle was stained and instructions were all washed out and not readable.

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.
