Snipper

[idnwid]

I saw this in the sherrill cataloge and wondered how well it worked or even if it was a good thing to do to a tree.
Also how often it would need to be used.

The injection is supose to stop the fruiting of different trees.

I personally don't know alot about tree injections other then reading once taht they should only be done every 2 years.

I've used it in the past on sweetgums....but the timing is so crucial, plus it's an annual treatment and the percentage of control is somwhat weak...or at least not good enought to tell a good client that I reccommend using it and that it's worth the money

But that's like my opinion, man.

did a 3 year trial run here in Springfield, results were terrible. luckily I had given a disclaimer to all who tried it, some got good control and others swore I had multiplied the gumballs. My timing was dead on, but even on the ones that responded well, the flowers were in different stages from the top to the bottom causing some limbs to still have a lot of balls. Never could get any answers why my results were so poor.

Good to know, anybody tried it on anything else besides sweetgums.

I wonder if Snipper could be used to control fruiting of a female Gingko.
