Will it work on autumn olive bushes? The roots need to come up
806759
Deep tap roots could be a problem. I Have Arizona sandy adobe soil (caliche, hard as brick) and a lot of common mallow grew up. It handled up to a 4 Inch tap root on medium growth, but much longer than that it couldn't pull out. If you have a loamier soil, I think it would pull up most anything short of a shrub. What it is really good for, is pulling dandelions and crabgrass out of your lawn and garden. In a fairly well managed yard and garden, it can keep you off your knees, but if you have a real big job especially with hard rocky soil, you will still end up with shovel and or weed killer needed. I'm not sure what an autumn olive bush is, but if it is small enough to get the tongs over and the soil is soft enough, it might, but it is a weeding tool, you couldn't use it successfully on scrub oak higher than a foot tall if that or blackberries other than small individual still tender plants. Basically my answer is no, I don't think so. But there are some variables that could make it work: root type, soil type and size of plant.

I would not recommended for because of the chemicals used in the product. These chemicals might be absorb by the soil and thus the roots. Paris Lamps Team

It depends. If it's green wood, then yes. Hard wood is a more difficult. But, like most rooting hormones, there will be a small chance it won't make it. I know it works on my fruit plants and even my snake plant. But it really depends on the texture of the plant. If the stem is harder, try a rooting jel.

Yes but rooting cuttings from this plant as it gets. Just keep soil moist to muddy and give the cutting 60 to 70 % shade. Will take awhile before it roots good though.

sorry I never tried on plants, on bushes I think it'd work. as I'm sure I hit my bushes when I sprayed.

I don't have irises, but it would work for roots and is sharp enough to stab between bulbs/rizomes. Give the soil a good soaking before, since it's easier to work through roots when the ground is wet vs. bone dry.

Yah it works but you may want to look into alkenet root or micas & Oxides for the furture

For sure...I use it on my palm trees, which look like much bigger stalks than the summer sweet bush. The blade is only 5 or 6 inches so it's not a sweeping hedge trimmer, rather an individual branch trimmer. Good luck.

It shouldn't as it is really designed for pests. I would avoid putting direct, undiluted product directly on the flowers,shrubs, etc....I have not used mine yet, so I cannnot rate it's effectiveness yet. From the reviews, it sounds like it will work fairly well.

I never tried it on bamboo roots. I don't know. But I do know it works on stumps.

Absolutely!....that is the beauty of the thing. As you lightly push into the dirt into the side of the dandelion root it spins it right out of there. And without digging up any lawsn you might like to keep in place. I love these two cheap little tools. I pl.anted baby Aspen trees with the bulb digger. Beats a shovel by a mile!

I think it should work just fine. It worked really well on my Meyers Lemon tree. It had lost all it's leaves but after feeding it with this fertilizer, a second flush of leaves appeared, blossomed and set fruit. Just be aware that this product does have an odor to it, which I found offensive. I quit using it in the house but will use again once I move my plants outside during warm weather.

I am not sure with that, but here's what I would try. I would try clonex try two ways, one clone off a cutting dipped in clonex and put into media with humidity at around 80%, 2nd option is to put clonex on a napkin and wrap it around a branch then wrap it with foil to keep it moist and see if it would root. I can't say that it would work, but it what I have learned. Doesn't hurt to try.

It will work on blackberry bushes, but be sure to wear protective goggles because stuff does get tossed around.

I am not really sure what those roots are. I have been using mine to dig in a very very rocky soil. Weeding and planting. So it must be able to deal with the roots also? I love the tool. I own several.

It's small and electric so I would say no. I guess it depends on how rocky (small rocks or stones?) It does an ok job but if the soil hasn't been turned over before it's going to be a bit of a chore. You will need ot make sure there are no roots as well.

As long as there is enough material at the base of the bush for the jaws to grab it will work.
