How the Honeysuckle Popper works at removing shrubs and bushes.

Remove buckthorn, honeysuckles, privet, autumn olive and others too.

   Basically, The Honeysuckle Popper uses the power of leverage to lift honeysuckles and other invasive bushes out of the ground from below. A 180 pound person can apply over 1800 pounds of upward pressure against the solid root crown that bush honeysuckle and most other shrubs so conveniently have.

   The Honeysuckle Popper exploits the weaknesses of the shrubs root system. Since honeysuckles have no tap root or vertical support roots, it makes them susceptible to hooking under their solid root ball and prying them upwards from below. The support roots fan out horizontally rather than vertically and generally stay within 2-6" from ground level. Some bushes have more of a fibrous ball of smaller roots rather than the thicker, longer roots honeysuckle bushes have, however The Popper is equally as effective on them because they also have a 'bottom' for the poppers tip to engage.

   When you're ready to start popping, imagine the bush is 'palming a basketball' and you are going to release its grip using the Popper. Some shrubs will release with a single pop in the palm, while others will require breaking one finger at a time until it gives up its grip.

             ENGINEERED FOR STRENGTH AND EFFICIENCY
   Leverage is what it’s all about with this tool, but The Honeysuckle Popper is much more than just a lever.
   * The bend on the tip ‘cups’ the bottom of the suckle and directs the force upwards.

   * The attached platform with cleat is designed to maintain the pivot point as high as possible  and to deter sideways or backward movement when applying pressure. The wood platform is durable and guaranteed not to break apart.

   * The ‘play’ at the pivot point is purposely that way so you can 'jimmie' the tip around a little to get a better bite (if you need it) once the platform is set.

   * The high carbon steel tip and structural steel tube work together, supporting each other so they will not bend. *

   * I used my 30 years of journeyman tool making experience to design The Popper and after 8 protoypes and a lot of time, I am confident in the quality and proud that I have produced:   THE OPTIMUM HONEYSUCKLE SHRUB REMOVER

HOW BIG A' ONES CAN I GET OUT?    Is a question I often get. Well, I can't say for sure, because a lot depends on the weight and strength of the operator. From my extensive experience and comments I've received, I can safely say that the average man can pop out honeysuckles up to 10 ft. high (8-10 years old) fairly easily and 10 to 15 ft ones (10 - 15 years old) with a little work.  Regardless of the height though, what really matters is the stump size and shape.     Below, I can give you a good idea and show you ones that I've gotten out.

This picture has 2 general types of honeysuckle stumps. The 4" and 8.5" are what I call 'multi stem'. the 3.5" is 'solid stem' around 10 years old.

   Look at the roots and you will notice that root size mimics the stem size. This is almost always the case. The 3.5" (diameter) is what I call 'solid stem', the 4" and 8.5" are 'multi stem'. The 3.5" solid and the 8.5" multi take about the same ammount of effort because of the difference in the roots.
   Almost everyone will be able to get out the 4" multi stem (6-8ft tall) in a single pop with either popper, and solid stems up to 1-2" (6-10' tall). My wife has taken out some over 10' tall with the Popper-Lite. Its laughable how easy all the ones smaller than this pop out, so I'm not wasting any time on them.
   The 8.5" multi (8-12' tall) and 3.5" solid (10-15' tall) are Popper H-D territory, and I remove ones like this regularly with relative ease.  Both of these will usually take 2-6 'pops' and 2-5 minutes to totally remove with some experience. These are the ones that the felco saw I sell comes in really handy to sever stubborn roots.

   Once you start getting to ones larger than the above, you definitely need some experience with the popper. I have popped out some whoppers myself. I'll go to work on a big one, but if I get past 15 minutes or so, I give up, cut it down and smother the stump with plastic which kills the stump.  The ones over 5" (diameter) solid stem and 10" multi stem are too big for me, so I saw them off and smother without attempting using the Popper.
   Women, Boy Scouts and high school boys can and are using the Popper H-D. Generally though, I say (hoping not to offend you stronger ladies out there) that the Popper H-D is the mans tool, the Popper-Lite the ladies tool.

Soft Ground - Hard ground

The softer the ground, the easier they pop out.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out, that's why The Popper was designed with a large platform to prevent sinking in during use. I have tested The Popper in hard soil conditions and have found that it will penetrate the softer soil directly under the root ball and easily removes suckles that require a single pop, however, it is difficult to use the Root Breaker. I usually let the big ones go until the after the ground has softened.

Limitations

The way I talk sometimes, you may think all you have to do is 'show' a honeysuckle The Popper and it will jump out of the ground and run away! I wish that was true.

It requires some strength and physical exertion to be successful. The H-D weighs 28 pounds and it can start getting heavy after a while. I think the physical exertion required is similar to cutting and splitting firewood. Myself (55), I go out and pop for 1-2 hours at a time, then thats about enough of that for me for the day. Typically, I average 16 (yes, I've kept track) honeysuckles an hour. Some take 10 minutes, some pop right out. It took me 20 minutes to pop out the big one on my pictures page.

The main limitation on the size of honeysuckles you can remove is the physical strength and weight of the operator.
