Why would your customers want to slow the growth of their trees & woody shrubs? Aside from the many health benefits mentioned later, the rewards of slowing the growth of some of your trees include:

·        Creates less pruning of their tree, which ultimately reduces possible damage & stress

·        Can maintain a tree’s size & shape (such as: an ornamental in front of a picture window, trees by a porch, deck, pool, or walkway, or trees encroaching on your house or driveway)

·        Being proactive in the maintenance of trees under a power-line so the electric companies don’t have to trim the trees

·        Diminishes the need for excessive upkeep of woody shrubs and will maintain the equilibrium of landscape plant groupings and designs

What are some of the other benefits to your trees after growth regulator applications?

·        Enhances root hair growth which aids trees in a variety of ways

·        Reduces the effects of drought & potentially increases the resis- tance to insect and fungal damage

·   Helps improve the health of over-mature trees and trees in mild decline

·     Aids in reducing stress on trees near high compaction areas (such as sidewalks, common paths, home additions, and driveways)

·   Pre-stress conditioning for construction site trees prior to home building

Roots and More Roots-

Applications slow the plant’s stem growth to a minimum while increasing root hair growth and energy production. Problems associated with drought conditions, limited root space, and/or in poor soil conditions have been significantly reduced with the application of ShortStop TGR by the increased development of fine root hairs and the redirected energy to other parts of the plant.
