Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) works systemically to interrupt the hormones that cause growth. Trim your plant then apply Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) as a foliar spray one time and it could last the entire season cutting your labor by as much as half. The benefits of Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) do not stop with less work but extend to the plant's appearance. The lack of shoot elongation encourages lateral branching resulting in a fuller appearance and denser plant. Even shrubs and hedges that have been affected by weather or pests can benefit from Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) because they begin to fill in even on old wood.
Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) will also help to reduce or eliminate unwanted fruit on ornamentals and trees.

Stop the endless hedging
By Rick on 05/19/2016
I do professional landscape maintenance and hedge trimming sucks up huge amounts of time in the spring. Frustrating to trim a privet topiary and two weeks later it needs it again. This stuff really helps save me a lot of time. I've used it for many years. Doesn't work as well on Photinia so I do two applications.

This is a miracle! It has cut down my yard work tremendously. I applied it 3 times in last years growing season and had no problems. Will be applying it again soon for this year. I am just a homeowner, not a professional. Love the product.

This is a quote from the label tips for bark banding: "when bark banding or soil drenching a 100% organosilicone surfactant is necessary." Can you tell me which surfactant I should purchase that fits this specification?
When using Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator you would want to use a surfactant like Prime Source Duo Stick. This is going to be a proprietary blend of methylated seed oil and organosilicone surfactants.

I trim my properties neatly in the fall and winter. I would like to know if you can apply early spring without trimming and before bushes start to grow vigorously. Or if it is necessary to first cut or trim and then apply within 36 hours. Early- mid summer is very busy time of year and I would like to avoid trimming then. Last year I applied after trimming in July and it lasted until fall/winter with light growth.
According to the product label for Atrimmec PGR:
For a more formal appearance: Trim the shrub or groundcover to shape, leaving at least two pairs of extended leaves on each shoot to absorb the spray. Apply this product within three days.
For a more natural appearance: Either trim only the long, wild shoots and immediately apply this product spray, or trim shrub or groundcover to shape, allow the new shoots to grow at least two inches, and then apply this product spray.
Trimming after the application of Attrimec may interfere with the action of the product.

Atrimmec Plant Growth Regulator is not labeled specifically for Loropetalum, fringe flower, witchhazel (the family of this plant), or evergreens, so we are not sure whether it would be effective or tolerated on this plant. Pruning seems to be recommended and most effective for keeping this plant to desirable sizes. Different cultivars will require slightly different care, too. You can read more about Loropetalum in this article from the Clemson Extension. If you are going to try this on your loropetalum, then we would recommend treating a limited number of plants before treating all of them.
