ROUNDUP STUMP KILLER, kills most garden weeds with a single application

This product is a home garden weedkiller for use on unwanted vegetation including trees and freshly cut tree stumps and areas not intended to bear vegetation (e.g. weeds growing through all hard surfaces including drives, patios, paths, tarmac, gravel and paving)

ROUNDUP® STUMP KILLER is a non-selective, translocated weedkiller that is absorbed by leaves and freshly cut, woody surfaces and moves throughout the entire plant, above and below ground, to control standing coniferous and deciduous trees, newly cut tree stumps, tree saplings, Brambles, Bracken, Nettles, Japanese Knotweed and other tough and woody weeds. It will also kill grasses and other weeds including deep rooted perennials. ROUNDUP® STUMP KILLER is degraded by micro-organisms in the soil.

When to use

Apply as a foliar spray to weeds and saplings at any time when the weeds are actively growing and have adequate leaf area to absorb the spray. Freshly cut tree stumps and standing trees should be treated from November to March to avoid the period of active sap flow in spring/ early summer. Avoid spraying when rain is imminent. Rain within 6 hours of spraying may reduce effectiveness, so repeat treatment may be necessary.

Avoid spraying in windy conditions, as spray drift to lawns and other wanted plants will damage or destroy them. Avoid all other contact with cultivated plants. If cultivated plants are treated by mistake, IMMEDIATELY AND THOROUGHLY wash off the weedkiller with ample water.

Weeds show effects within 1-4 weeks. Dead or dying weeds can be dug in or composted without harming future plants. Users should be aware that dead standing trees are a potential hazard and therefore should be felled before they fall over.

Where to use

Roundup Stump Killer controls annual weeds and most perennial weeds and trees around the garden and on areas not intended to bear vegetation such as hard surfaces, patios, drives, tarmac, paths and gravel areas. It can be used to clean up weedy ground before planting vegetables, flowers, bushes and trees, and to renovate overgrown areas. Direct spray away from ponds and other surface water bodies. DO NOT USE ON WANTED PLANTS. DO NOT USE ON AREAS OF LAWN UNLESS YOU WANT TO KILL THEM. DO NOT USE UNDER POLYTHENE OR GLASS.

How to use

Although not a requirement, as good practice, we recommend wearing waterproof gloves and gardening footwear.

Freshly cut tree and shrub stumps

Cut the tree or shrub stem close to the ground in November to March, and thoroughly treat the cut surface of the stump as soon as possible after felling. Use a paint brush to apply the diluted ROUNDUP® STUMP KILLER on to the cut stump. Ensure the whole cut surface is saturated, particularly around the edges and bark of the stump. Ensure the brush is thoroughly cleaned before and after use. ROUNDUP® STUMP KILLER - Tree stump dilutions :

Deciduous trees – 10% solution in water (e.g. 100ml in 1 litre of water) Coniferous trees – 20% solution in water (e.g. 200ml in 1 litre of water)

Standing trees (Coniferous and deciduous)

In November to March, use an axe to cut angled notches that completely penetrate the bark of standing trees. Cut at approximately knee height, one notch for trees up to 10 cm in diameter and use two or three notches in trees over 10cm diameter. Using a 3⁄4 or 1 inch standard paint brush, apply 2 ml (thorough wetting of the inside of the notch) per 10cm trunk diameter of neat ROUNDUP® STUMP KILLER to each cut. Do not treat in the period of active sap flow in the spring/early summer.

Japanese Knotweed

Apply as a foliar spot application using a 2% solution (20 ml made up to 1 litre of water).

For best results apply when the plant is flowering (usually August/September) but before autumn dieback. Good coverage is essential. Spray the underside as well as the upper surface of the leaves. Repeat treatment may be necessary if regrowth appears.

If Japanese Knotweed is growing amongst wanted plants apply 5-10 ml of a 20% (200ml ROUNDUP® STUMP KILLER made up to 1 litre of water) solution with water per stem using the following method:

After mid August but before leaf fall, cut the stems of the plants approximately 200mm above the base of the cane and 40mm above a node. Rupture the central stem tissue with a screwdriver and apply 5-10ml of a 20% solution of ROUNDUP® STUMP KILLER into the hollow stem within 15 minutes of cutting using the 10ml disposable pipette supplied with the pack. Gently dispense the pipette avoiding splash back.

Stems must be larger than 8mm diameter.
