The suckers are attached by root to the master tree. using round up will be a game of 'how much can i spray and just kill this Branch.

How often do you mow the location? How big is your tree? Is the top in decline? My neighbor mows every ten days or so and his stays under control.

Hi, i have been trying to keep locust suckers from sprouting all over but to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?

Whoever does and successfully markets it will be a millionaire.

you have to get rid of the big tree ...

and then go retentive on snipping and dripping roundup on every single one.. until you kill the root from which they spring to life ...

i agree you might want to increase the mowing ... to keep knocking back leaf formation ... or you will never kill the things ...

thanks guys, i mow every 5 days or so and they come up on day 4-5 again with a vengeance. I should add we cut down 3 trees last year and have one left, i suspect the roots from the old trees are trying to regenerate... i will keep mowing, i also tried round up on the leaves on the sprouts. lets see. thanks.
