PBI Gordon
Atrimmec Growth Regulator
Atrimmec Growth Regulator by PBI Gordon is a powerful systemic solution designed to significantly reduce landscape maintenance. Applied as a foliar spray, it's absorbed by leaves to halt shoot elongation, promoting denser, more compact growth in hedges, shrubs, and trees. This reduces trimming and pruning by over 50%, with a single application often lasting the entire season. Atrimmec also prevents fruit set on nuisance trees, minimizing seasonal mess. It's ideal for achieving a lush, uniform appearance in both residential and commercial landscapes, revitalizing plants and keeping them looking their best with less effort.

Know before you buy
Atrimmec is a systemic growth regulator containing Dikegulac. Once applied as a foliar spray, the plant absorbs the active ingredient, which temporarily halts shoot elongation to encourage a more compact, dense growth habit.
Atrimmec is designed for specific use on hedges, shrubs, trees, and groundcovers. While it is effective for maintenance, you should avoid applying it to plants you want to grow rapidly or those currently under stress.
A single application typically provides season-long control. By suppressing shoot growth, it reduces the need for trimming and pruning by more than 50% throughout the growing season.
Yes, Atrimmec is highly effective at preventing fruit and flower formation on nuisance trees. This helps minimize seasonal debris and keeps your landscape cleaner with less manual cleanup.
The application rate ranges from 1 to 5 ounces per gallon of water, depending on the specific plant species and the desired level of growth regulation. Always consult the product label for precise ratios tailored to your specific vegetation.
No, Atrimmec is a growth regulator, not a fertilizer. Its primary purpose is to slow down shoot elongation and manage plant size, rather than promoting new growth or providing nutrients.
