Live Oak Root Sprouts: Wipe‑On Roundup Control

Sucker Management After Tree Removal

Sprouts from remaining roots are best controlled by wiping leaves with glyphosate (Roundup) on a sponge/cloth.

Why Wipe, Not Spray?

Prevents drift onto lawn/desirable plants.
Herbicide absorbs through leaves → kills root system.
Wear gloves (odor lingers).

If No Grass Nearby

Spot‑spraying is fine. Repeat as new sprouts emerge.
