Roundup Tree Stump Root Killer Review

The Roundup Tree Stump Root Killer is the best tree stump killer on the market. This can kill tree stumps, Ivy Japanese knotweed, saplings, brambles and nettles. It gets straight into the root so the stump and weeds can’t grow back.

This can kill up to 16 tree stumps so it’s great for large areas of land that need work. It’s degraded into the soil by microorganisms so won’t damage your garden, and there’s no harmful residue left. It’s very easy to use although you should keep pets and children away from the area until it’s dried.

Resolva Xtra Tough Tree Stump Killer Review

The Resolva Tough Tree Stump Killer arrives in a pack of 12, enough to treat up to 36 tree stumps. This is highly effective, ready to use straight out the packet and any leftover can be used to treat weeds.

As the name suggests, this tree stump killer is tough. Keep away from children and pets, and follow all safety guidelines. For best results, use within a week of the tree being cut down. You should see results within 7 days depending on the size of the stump.

Solar Bay Copper Tree Stump Killer Nails Review

The Solar Bay Cooper Tree Stump Killer Nails are a different type of stump killer. As opposed to using chemicals to kill the stump, these nails are simply hammered into the base of the target tree. The copper will damage the growth cells and as the concentration of copper in the tree increases, the tree will eventually die.

While using copper nails doesn’t produce results as quickly, they are very effective. These nails drive easily into the tree stumps, and they are available in a range of sizes, with 20 nails in a pack.

Please note that you may need to pre-drill the holes in harder tree stumps, as copper is a soft metal.

Vitax Tree Stump Killer Review

The Vitax Tree Stump Killer is a highly effective killer, designed to kill roots and tough weeds at their roots to prevent regrowth. It can be used during the winter months, with the 250ml treating up to 8 stumps.

This stump killer can be used in grassland and non-crop areas. It’s extremely easy to apply, delivering quick results, although a repeat application may be required for particularly hardy tree stumps.

Doff Tough Tree Stump Killer Review

The Doff Tough Tree Stump Killer is a systematic action weed killer that can take on all weeds and tree stumps, killing down to the root to prevent regrowth.

This tree stump killer is very easy to apply and affordable. It comes with 2 sachets so it’s the best option if you just have a couple of tree stumps to treat. It works without causing harm to surrounding trees and, providing it’s used properly, it’s very safe.
