    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide kill briar without harming trees and grasses?
    A
    Crossbow is a vegetation management product which means it is not very selective, it will kill almost anything.  Although it will not harm a tree when used at recommended levels if it gets on the base of the tree, it will harm a tree if you spray Crossbow on the foliage.  For applying over grasses you need to make sure you apply at the recommended levels on the product label.

    Q
    Will Crossbow harm fruit trees if sprayed around their trunks?
    A

    The product label for Crossbow Herbicide only lists that it can be used in non crop areas and specifically states: Do not apply directly to, or otherwise permit it to come into direct contact with cotton, grapes, tobacco, vegetable crops, citrus, flowers, fruit or ornamental trees, or other desirable broadleaf plants and do not permit spray mists containing it to drift onto them.

    Based on this information, we would not recommend applying it anywhere near the fruit trees.

    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide kill trees if it is applied close to them?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide should not harm established trees if it is not applied directly to them.   Take care to apply when the wind is calm to minimize drift.

    Q
    The neighbor sprayed Crossbow diluted in their yard and half our birch is yellow and leaves limp, what to do?
    The tree is near the back fence and they sprayed a large area (per the labels instructions they say) 2 foot high x 15 ft weeded overgrowth and I fear it was absorbed by the root base. We gave it a good bath and washed down the root base soil area for a while. Help!!! We love our only 30 ft river birch tree!
    A
    Crossbow is a vegetation management product which means it is not very selective, it will kill almost anything.  Although it will not harm a tree when used at recommended levels if it gets on the base of the tree, it will harm a tree if you spray Crossbow on the foliage.  If the tree itself was not sprayed directly there could be another cause for the issue.  It would be best to speak with a local arborist or horticulturalist who is more familiar with any tree issues in your area.
