Prevent and control unwanted sprouts and sucker growth in your home garden with Sucker Punch Knock Out Sprouts Ready-to-Use Spray from Bonide. Treat and control unwanted sprouts and suckers without harming the rest of the plant. This plant growth regulator inhibits sprouting from trunks, rootstocks, roots, and small pruning cuts. Intended for use on ornamental plants for aesthetic purposes or modification. Sucker Punch can be used on a variety of plants including flowering and shade trees, apples, pears, olives, citrus plants, and more. Use both indoors and outdoors to train young trees. Proper pruning of branches promotes the growth and development of strong, well-spaced branches that can support more, larger sized fruit, resist wind and ice damage, improve spray penetration for better insect and disease control and improve light penetration for better fruit set, size, and color. The water-based sealer remains effective and provides protection against sprouts and suckers for up to 6 months after application. This product arrives conveniently ready-to-use in a trigger sprayer bottle. For best results, please see product label for full use instructions and use as directed. Retreat as needed after the minimum retreatment interval of five days.

Huge Carbon Footprint

5 days ago
This isn't about the product but the shipping. I expected the product to ship from a local Tractor Supply Store. Instead it shipped clear across country. The carbon footprint on this was huge. Won't do that again.

Actually works! Get rid of suckers and growths

8 months ago
This may look like a boring picture with no substance but that is because this topical actually worked on preventing small buds from sprouting. My crepe myrtle was losing out on nutrients from all the buds and suckers forming along the base. I reapplied the product 3 times in August 2025 (picture is from October 2025), about 5-7 days between treatments and haven’t seen any suckers pop up at all so it is truly a long-lasting product. I’m overall very impressed with this product and will consider them for my other garden needs.

This was a decent product.It works so, so it definitely kept the weeds away for some time.But they still ended up growing back. But overall an average weed killer product.
