Instructions for Installing Copper Nails in Trees & Stumps
- Drill a pilot hole in the tree for the spike to go into (7/64” drill bit)
- Hammer the nail into the pilot hole
- Space the nails out evenly around the base of the stump
- Try to remove as much bark as possible to expose the pulp of the tree
- With trees larger than 2 feet in diameter use more than 10 spikes -- Now sit back and wait for the nails to do its magic!!

I put four into an 8" diameter tree stump. No sprouts, no shoots at the base. Reliably kills the tree so you can dig out the stump a year later.

I read online this shouldn't work but it seems to depend on the bush. I used it on two different types of bushes that just won't die and one started wilting and the other is unphased. For me it was a last DIY effort before calling in an expert.

Update: As of 10-2023, no further Bradford Pear saplings have appeared. The 2 nails have worked.The 25-yr.-old bradford pear tree was removed in late 2019. However, the root wasn't removed, and the bradford pear kept on sprouting saplings. After 2 summers of trying to weed out the saplings, only to find more saplings in a few weeks, this summer, in May 2022, already exasperated by new crops of bradford wannabes, I found these nails on Amazon. 1 nail went in to 1 part of the root that had been sprouting. I did a mediocre job of getting the nail in. So the nail went in about 1/2 way and just stayed like that. That was in May. No further saplings appeared there, or in the other usual places, except for one area maybe 4 feet away from the original nail. So in went another nail, at that part of the root. It's been several months now (late August same year), and really to my surprise (and relief), there just aren't any more bradford pear saplings. After those saplings being so persistent, in so many areas off of the tree root -- this is amazing.

They're copper nails.Never used them for tree stumps. The chemical break down will take years. Don't expect it to happen in a few weeks.They are soft so drill a pilot hole first. Order came faster than expected. Haven't priced nails but price seems to be really good. Prime free shipping is great.

So far working as expected. It is important to pre-drill a hole to ease hammering the copper nails in to the stump and prevent them from bending. For now they preventing new shoots from sprouting from a couple of tree stumps. Time will tell if this continues to work in preventing shoots and killing the stumps.

These are so soft and pliable that even with drilled holes they bend and the copper scrapes off. I left them, as is, in the tree stump, and a few weeks later no copper is remaining.
