FAQ
Questions arborists ask
What is Snipper?
Snipper is a growth regulator from Mauget with Indole-3-butyric acid 4.0% as the active ingredient. It is applied by trunk injection.
What is the Snipper rate per inch of DBH?
The label sets the dose by DBH band, not a flat rate per inch. A 8 inch tree takes 36 to 48 mL low, 36 to 48 mL medium, 36 to 48 mL high (label band 8 to 10 in). The PHC Rx calculator reads the band for the tree in front of you and sets the number of injection sites.
How often can Snipper be applied?
Minimum retreatment interval 365 days. Expected protection about 12 months. Time to effect about 7 days.
Where do these numbers come from?
The PHC Rx product catalog, built from the Snipper label linked above, and synced to this page from the app. The label is the legal document; if the two disagree, the label wins and the catalog gets fixed.
