A: A single application typically controls growth for an entire growing season, making it one of the most cost-effective PGRs available.

A: Yes. When applied per label directions, Atrimmec is safe for use on a wide range of ornamental shrubs, trees, and hedges without causing phytotoxicity.
Q: Can Atrimmec prevent fruit on ornamental trees?
