Description

Trimmit is a powerful growth regulator formulated with 250 g/L Paclobutrazol, designed to significantly reduce the growth of hedging and ground cover species. Trimmit slows shoot growth, minimising the need for frequent trimming while enhancing the overall health and appearance of the plant.

Ideal for species such as Golden Duranta, Small Leaf Photinia, Syzygium, Box, Viburnum, and Mock Orange, as well as ground covers like Star Jasmine, Trimmit promotes denser foliage, a deeper green colour, and increased drought tolerance. Regular applications lead to healthier plants with more uniform and attractive growth, reducing trimming frequency to once or twice a year.

Available in a handy 100ml pack size.

Key Benefits:

  • Reduces trimming needs by up to 70% for labour savings and reduced waste.
  • Promotes denser foliage and a richer green colour.
  • Increases drought tolerance and overall plant health.
  • Minimises green waste and the risks associated with trimming work.

Application:

  • Use on plants nearing their optimal size to maintain shape and density.
  • Apply as a root drench, using 0.5 to 2.5 mL per plant, mixed in 1 L of water.
  • Ensure thorough irrigation after application to aid root uptake.
  • Suitable for use in both in-ground and large potted hedges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Trimmit Growth Regulator

  1. What plants can Trimmit be used on?
    Trimmit is suitable for a range of hedging species, including Golden Duranta (Duranta repens), Small Leaf Photinia (Photinia glabra), Syzygium (Syzygium australe, Syzygium smithii), Box (Buxus microphylla), Viburnum (Viburnum spp.), and Mock Orange (Murraya paniculata). It can also be applied to ground cover species like Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides).
  2. How does Trimmit work?
    Trimmit is a systemic growth regulator that slows down the shoot growth of treated plants. This results in less frequent trimming, denser foliage, and improved drought tolerance. 
  3. When should I apply Trimmit?
    The best time to apply Trimmit is in late winter to early spring, during the flush of new growth. For best results, lightly trim the hedge before application and ensure the plant is well-watered. 
  4. How many applications are needed per year?
    Generally, only one application per year is necessary, as the effects can last up to 12 months depending on the species and conditions.
  5. Can Trimmit be used on newly planted hedges?
    No, Trimmit should not be used on newly planted or recently transplanted plants. It is recommended to apply Trimmit only once the plants are well-established and have reached their desired size.
  6. What should I do if soil moisture is low before application?
    If soil is dry, pre-water the plants a day before application and consider using a wetting agent to ensure proper uptake of Trimmit by the plant’s roots.
  7. Will Trimmit affect the appearance of hedges?
    Yes, Trimmit improves the appearance of hedges by promoting denser foliage, a deeper green colour, and better drought tolerance, all while reducing trimming frequency.
  8. What happens if Trimmit is not reapplied after 12 months?
    If you don’t reapply after the effects wear off, growth will gradually return to normal without a sudden flush of growth.
  9. Can Trimmit be used in pots?
    Yes, Trimmit can be used on plants growing in large pots as well as in-situ hedges.
  10. What should I avoid when using Trimmit?
    Avoid using Trimmit on stressed plants, those with low vigour, or plants experiencing drought, frost, disease, or nutrient deficiency. Trimmit should only be applied to healthy plants.
