Short-stop efficacy
I have used Short-stop in many situations on many different shrubs and tree species since its inception. I am really amazed more landscapers and arborist’s don’t use it! It slows down big Hollies that people have to trim 3-4x yearly and keeps fast growing plants in check, so they need much less work for 3 full years! I see about a 70% reduction in year one, 90 in year two and 70 again in year three. Well worth the investment.

Great Product
I used this product 5 years ago on 3 big oak trees that I cut a 4' trench which cut the roots out and then put a concrete footing and wall with a patio within 4' of the base of the trees. I had several landscapers tell me that they would be dead in five years and to this date they don't even have any dead limbs on them. So far I am a firm believer in this product.
This time I put dirt up 2' deep over the roots on one side of 3 oaks and one ash tree. I will check back in another 4 or 5 years and report as to how these trees are doing. And I am treating the ash tree for the ash bore
