How to remove shrubs and bushes with the Honeysuckle Popper:
The tip 'cups' the solid bottom of the shrub, creating a solid contact point that stabilizes the tool, directs the force upwards, and lifts it out. Use the popper to remove honeysuckle bushes, remove buckthorn, remove barberry, remove blackberry bushes, remove autumn olive, remove privet, yucca and many other shallow rooted bushes or shrubs.
NEW VIDEO! Here is my new promotional video that has narrative. This shows condensed scenes of me popping out bushes. 2 minutes long.
MORE VIDEOS: All my videos are now on YouTube 'Removing Shrubs' (above) and 'Instructions' are the only 2 with narrative. The rest are silent or have the tool sounds. Shrub Removal (7 min) Scenes of me popping bush honeysuckles, a couple autumn olives, and a big blackberry bush. Bush Removal (8 min) This ones all honeysuckle removal. Different sizes. Blackberry Removal (2.5 min) See how to remove blackberry bushes faster and easier. This one was 15-20 years old and took about 4 min. overall to get out. NOTE: You definitely need a pruning saw or loppers when removing blackberries. Their support roots are like ropes and do not snap as easily as other bushes. Here's how you do it; First, use the popper to lift the crown out. This will expose the support roots. Next, hook under some of the larger roots and lift them out some so you can saw it about a foot from the crown. You want to cut them as far from the crown as you can to minimize re-sprouting. After you cut a few, you will be able to pull the bush the rest of the way out. This one was over 15 years old and I got it out in 4 minutes without a lot of effort. I've heard it so often, I can almost guarantee that after you take out the first big bush with this tool you will say: "Dang, I wish I would'a had this years ago, it would have saved me a lot of work" Sally Removing Bushes (7 min) Sally can pop'em out too. She prefers the Popper Lite and has great success with it. The last one was a whopper for her - over 10 ft tall! Autumn Olive Removal (1.5 min) Yep, it works on autumn olive bushes. Heres me popping out a couple 10 year old ones. Bush Removal Teamwork (5 min) If you have a helper, its much easier. The helper holds the bush upright and 'works' it against the tip to release the roots. Here, we removed 8 or 9 medium size (7-12 years old) honeysuckle bushes in less than 5 minutes. How to Remove Bushes with 2 Shrub Busters (5 min) 2 Poppers on one bush saves a lot of time on the bigger ones. These were all ones I could have gotten out myself in a few minutes each, but 2 of us got'em out in a minute. If you have a helper and a big patch, you might consider getting a Popper and a Lite. You'll get your moneys worth. Plus 10% off. 100 Honeysuckles in 90 minutes (3 min) A time lapse of me and Harry working on a patch of bushes. Shot at 1 frame per second. This is a good example of what you can do if you are serious about it. Each 'pop' equals 1 dead honeysuckle. NEW!Instructions Part 1 (8 min) This is my instructional DVD that I send with the tool. I had to break it into 2 parts to fit on youtube. This gives a good description of the tool and shows you how to use it on different sizes of bushes. If you are seriously considering buying, this is probably the best one to view. Instructions Part 2
EXTENSIVELY TESTED I don't just build and sell this tool, I use it too. At least once a week for the past 5 years, weather permitting. I've removed well over 2000 honeysuckle bushes with this tool, plus numerous other invasive bushes. I've made a few minor changes through the years and I now feel the tool is the best it can be. NOTE: To those that think the popper should have a metal platform instead of wood, please CLICK HERE to see why its not.
BENEFITS: The main benefit is: When using this tool to remove bushes, it requires considerably less physical effort and gets the job done faster than with any other hand tools. If you've tried to remove shrubs, more than a few, with a shovel or mattock, it should be obvious. If you've used one of the pulling tools, you know they don't work too good on bushes. They work good on trees, wich have a tap root, most shrubs do not.
When removing shrubs, you need a good 'prying tool' and thats what the Shrub Buster is. I have many happy customers that are using this tool. To see some of thier comments, CLICK HERE. A comment I often get is: "I wish I woulda' had this years ago, it would have saved me a lot of work!"
Another great benefit is the things you don't have to do when removing bushes with the Buster. Eliminates:
The digging, prying and stabbing with shovels. No more broken shovel handles!
The blind chopping into the ground with an axe or mattock trying to sever some roots. They often snag on the branches while you're trying to swing, and a few times, I struck too close to my foot for comfort.
Bending the frame of your truck while trying to jerk the bush out with a chain. Some people even use a car! This could end up being very expensive, but, they are fun to watch on YouTube.
Most of the cursing when trying to get those (darn) things out. But not all of it. Its still not easy all the time, especially when you graduate to the bigger ones. My personal estimate is I cuss 75% less since inventing the Buster. ( Cant be serious all the time here folks, we're just talking about bushes.) :-)
Reduces herbicide use. Sawing the bush down and soaking the stump with concentrated glysophate (20% is effective) is a popular way of removing invasive bushes and if done correctly works most of the time. If thats your choice, I'm all for it. The only good invasive bush is a dead one. There is three reasons I don't use herbicides on my honeysuckles. The main reason is that it doesn't "remove" the bush, it "kills" it. The stumps are still there. The new vegetation thats going to grow hides them and you will trip over them every time you walk in that area for many years. Secondly, herbicides are expensive. It will cost you 1-3 bucks a stump depending on size. Lastly, I don't like handling that concentrated stuff, you always get some on you, and it soaks in. (I'm not a purist though, I still buy the spray to kill weeds in my driveway) This is why it makes sense to use the Buster to pop out all you can, because it gets the stump out too, then save the herbicide use for the big ones that cannot be removed by hand. This will greatly reduce the number of stumps in the area, and you use less herbicides. NOTE: I am aware that some places hire professional applicators to spray acres of bushes at a time. I have observed a couple of these spots and the bushes are definetely dead. This technique is way out of my realm, and in my opinion should only be done by professionals, so I don't talk about that much.
The Shrub Buster works on herbicided stumps. Stumps of bushes that were younger than 10 years old are generally no problem, but for older ones, you need to wait 2-3 years so that it rots a little. Then, you can remove them with the Buster.
Land managers and parks: Using the Buster to 'remove' the smaller invasive bushes takes the same ammount of time as using herbicides and is safer. How? You are about to learn the fact nobody talks about much: BY FAR, what takes the most time and work is not killing or popping them, its getting the dead bushes out of the area and disposing of them. You can't just leave them there, they look like crap, and they greatly deter your necessary follow up work. As you likely know, you need to maintain the area every year or two by going out and pulling out the new sprouts. If you dont, in 15 years, you'll have the same thing. A 'cut and dab' team can kill a huge ammount of bushes in a short time, there is no doubt about that. But, whats left is a mass of individual stems splayed in all directions amongst all the stumps. They are difficult to bunch up and you're always tripping on the stumps. It takes more time to haul them out. Popped bushes are intact. You can lay them all facing the same direction as you pop, (root end towards the disposal area), then they are easy to bundle a few in your arms and haul away. This is why, overall, it takes no more time using the Buster. I have to admit though, its still not fun. No matter how you go about it, invasive bush removal can only be described one way: HARD WORK!
Another benefit using this tool:Its great exercise! Wait, didn't I just call it "hard work"? Yes, but they are both the same, it just depends on how you look at it. I've rarely been in better shape, and I'm 59! NOTE: My secure online ordering has changed.

POPS'EM OUT, ROOTS AND ALL. WORKS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER TOOL.

* How big'a ones can I get out? The size of shrubs you can remove with the popper 'mostly' depends on the weight and strength of the operator. I say mostly because it helps a lot if you use your brain also by plotting out your attack rather than relying on brute force alone. I've gotten out some whoppers and I weigh 160. I do it by working around the stump, probing in with the tool and snapping the support roots until its weakened enough to hook under the stump and pop it out. Often you can tell where the roots are by rocking the bush and observing the ground movement around the stump. You want to 'outsmart' the bush out, they all have thier weak points and if you exploit them you will have better success. I can safely say that everybody will be able to remove shrubs up to 10 years old, usually in one or two pops. As they get older they get more difficult and often require several energetic pops to remove. I routinely remove honeysuckle bushes over 15 years old, but I only attack the big ones when the ground is softer. I believe my VIDEOS give an accurate representation of the effectiveness of this tool. I want to add here that after selling over 850, I have not had 1 tool returned because it didn't work. 3 were returned because it was too heavy. It weighs 25 lbs and they couldnt handle it. For those folks, I have The Honeysuckle Popper Lite which weighs 17 lbs and works great on removing bushes up to 8 years old or so. Some Popper Lite clips are on my videos page. I've sold over 125 Lites with no returns. Click HERE for pics and info.
What bushes does it work on? Something that has always bothered me is how sellers tend to exaggerate the effectiveness of the tool they are selling. I am determined not to do that. I clearly show on my videos and other pics around this site how good the tool works and how big'a ones you can get out. The popper doesn't just 'sorta' work on these bushes, or just work on small ones. It works on ones up to 15 years old, even bigger if you're good at it. You will not be disappointed. I have popped out honeysuckle, buckthorn, privet, autumn olive, multi-flora rose, barberry, burning bush, holly, boxwood, small evergreen shrubs, yucca, blackberrys and several unidentified others.
Most woody bushes or shrubs have what some call a 'crown' type root system which is best described as having shallow, spreading support roots and little or no tap root or deeply penetrating support roots. The popper will work on all of them. The Honeysuckle Popper does not work on trees or brush with a tap root.

I also sell this Felco 600 folding saw:
This saw is the only other tool you need when removing shrubs. It really comes in handy sometimes. You mainly use it on larger bushes to saw off a stubborn root or two that are still holding after you have it on its side. It also comes in handy to saw off a branch thats in your way. For complete details, CLICK HERE to go to my Other Products page. COST: $25.95 free shipping if ordered with a popper.
I drive around a lot delivering Poppers and I now estimate that in the Cin-Day area, 90% of wooded areas are infested with honeysuckle bushes, some severely others not too bad yet. Its somewhat depressing at times, but I've always kept a happy face about it. Until now. I must be getting tired of being mister nice guy all the time, because I decided on a more 'In your face' approach. Here's an ad I'm currently running on Cincinnati.com Lawn and Garden page.
