While its possible the Speedzone EW Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf could do some kill on the new sprouts coming off of a Sweet Gum Tree stump, you would be better off using a stump killer product. Fertilome Brush & Stump Killer is a great option to paint undiluted onto the freshly cut surfaces of the stump and sprouts you have snipped with a brush. This will help to provide kill to the stump and sprouts without impacting surrounding vegetation. If you find that the suckers continue to come back, you may need to remove the entire stump itself, or use something like Hi Yield Stump Remover to try and degrade and speed up the break down process of the existing stump.
