    Q
    Is it okay for the temperature to drop below 55 degrees after Crossbow has dried and become rainfast?
    A

      If temperatures drop below 55 degrees after Crossbow Herbicide has been applied, this may lengthen the amount of time it takes to kill the weeds.

    Q
    Have been trying to kill salal for years. How long will it take to kill it completely?
    The last bunch was cut down a month and a half ago and sprouts are coming up everywhere. Do I have to spray just the leaves or will spraying the visible wood work,too? The area is under an old cedar and fir trees. Is there something stronger I can use?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide appears to be an effective product on salal but it can take mulitple applications.  Best way is to either spray the foliage directly or cutting the stumps/sprouts and applying as a “cut stump” as directed on the product label.

    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide work to get rid of Glory Bower (Clerodendrum trichotomum)?
    We have glory bower that is sending out shoots everywhere and trying to get rid of it entirely. Will crossbow work or is there a better product?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide should kill Glory Bower as it is a woody plant. We cannot gurantee it however because it has not been tested for it. It may be best to spot treat the Shoots with Round up

    Q
    What can I plant after spraying Crossbow Herbicide?
    In May, I sprayed a planned no-till food plot (for deer) with crossbow, thinking I was using plain 2,4 d. I would like to plant something there in September. It looks like grasses are OK. How about wheat/oats? Brassicas? Also, what can I plant next year? Thanks for your help.
    A

    You will need to wait at least 3 weeks before replanting in areas where Crossbow Herbicide has been applied. This would apply to any plants in pasture or range areas. For any edibles for human consumption, you would need to wait at least 1 year before planting.

    Q
    Does it kill Japanese barberry?
    I have acres of woods being taken over by barberry. I last sprayed with Cleanout but some shoots are returning. I need a real killing spray.
    A
    Unfortunately we do not carry any products labeled to treat Japanese Barberry. However, after doing some research on a couple university websites, we have found 2 active ingredients that have been known to kill Japanese Barberry. Cutting the stump and applying products with the Active Ingredients,  Glyphosate or Triclopyr has been shown to have great results for killing Japanese Barberry. Crossbow does contain the active ingrdient Triclopyr.  We recommend contacting your local extension office to get a confirmation that this would give you the results you are looking for.
