    Q
    What is the best time of the year to apply Crossbow Herbicide?
    Can I spray willows with it the first week in September, the willows are just starting to turn color.
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide and other herbicides are best applied when the weeds or brush are actively growing and healthy.  If the target weed is going into dormancy it would not be effective.  Please see the product label for complete instructions for your particular application.

    Q
    How do I apply Crossbow Herbicide to kill Tree of Heaven?
    This product has an attractive price point however it has a relatively low concentration of Triclopyr. What concentration of this product would be effective to kill Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) when brushed onto a stump or by using the "hack and squirt" method? Thank you
    A

    Tree of Heaven is an invasive species that can require chemical and cultural methods to control completely. You will probably need to cut a treat the stumps directly with a product like Crossbow Specialty Herbicide for best results. This article from the PennState Extension service has more information about this difficult tree.

    Q
    Does Crossbow kill grasses?
    A

    Crossbow is not supposed to harm established grasses and should pose no threat according to the manufacturer.  This being said, we always recommend treating a small area first to test the results.  As long as your grass is not stressed by drought and it is healthy the grass will not be harmed.

    Q
    When is the best time to spray Crossbow Herbicide?
    I have 90 acres in CRP and is thick with Sumac, broadleaf weeds, etc. It is about four feet tall now. Should I wait til spring after it is bushhogged to spray to be more effective?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is labeled to make a maximum of 2 applications per year on annual & perennial weeds, and once per year for woody plants.  However, if the Sumac is that thick, we would certainly wait until it is cut back completely and then apply the product to get the best results possible.

    Q
    Can I use Crossbow for willow bushes coming up in my lawn?
    We have wild willow shrubs invading our bluegrass lawn, up to 80 ft away from shrubs. Will Crossbow kill the emerging willows without harming the bluegrass? What about trumpet vine sprouts? Thanks
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not actually labeled to be used in lawns so we cannot recommend it for this use. Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer has the same active ingredient at a lower percentage but is labeled for both willow and trumpet creeper aka trumpet vine and is for residential use.

    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
    Will Crossbow Herbicide kill trumpet vine?
    And how long after can you plant certain hardier flowers or bushes Thanks
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is the most popular choice for trumpet vine or trumpet creeper suppression. It is very difficult to completely control this plant with a single herbicide application. Per the product label, use a 1.5% mixture as a conventional basal or dormant stem application.
