Tree Tech Snipper

Tree Tech Snipper

SNIPPER (Indole–3-butyric acid) is a deflowering agent that is used to eliminate young flowers before they fertilize, especially in Sweet Gums to prevent gum balls from forming. One application of Snipper in early spring causes premature death of developing flowers but does not affect foliage. Snipper can be applied to Ash, Black Locust, Black Walnut, Cherry, Cottonwood, Crabapple, Gingko, Hackberry, Hickory, Honey Locust, Maple, Oak, Olive, Persimmon, Plum, Tree of Heaven, Sweet Gum, and Sycamore trees.

*It is recommended to install 1 capsule every 4-6 inches around the circumference of the tree. A quick way to determine the number of capsules needed is to divide the diameter by 2, i.e. if your diameter is 20in you will need 10 capsules.*
