    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled for use on home lawns so we cannot recommend it.  We would recommend using Dismiss Turf instead which is labeled for use on perennial ryegrass to control/suppress buttercups.

    Q
    Will Crossbow Kill Holly? When should it be sprayed?
    A

    Holly shrubs would need to be treated like trees, in which case you would cut the shrubs down to stumps and then treat the fresh cuts. Crossbow Herbicide is labeled for the control of most kinds of unwanted trees. On page 5 of the label you can find directions on how to use for conventional basal bark and stump applications.

    Q
    How and when to apply Crossbow Herbicide to kill bamboo?
    one little sprout is taking over a field. Help???
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled for bamboo and likely would not give you any desired results. Bamboo is extremely stubborn, so it can take several steps to remove it completely. You can use Round Up QuickPro at the highest listed usage rate to help eliminate bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump and then apply the Round Up QuickPro. It can take several applications to achieve the desired results. You should contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the master gardener on staff to see if you will be required to till your yard or if you can seed and fertilize only.

    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide kill asparagus fern and bamboo?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled for bamboo.  However, we have heard that if you cut down the bamboo level with the ground and apply Crossbow or a similar Triclopyr based product undiluted to the fresh cut it can help kill it out. Bamboo is extremely stubborn, so it can take several steps to remove it completely. You can also use Round Up QuickPro at the highest listed usage rate to help eliminate bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump and then apply the Round Up QuickPro. It can take several applications to achieve the desired results.  Roundup can also be used for the asparagus fern as there is not currently anything actually labeled for it.  We did find an article here that might help.

    Q
    How far should I spray Crossbow Herbicide away from an existing lawn that I do not want to kill?
    Gravel driveway with no existing border to the lawn.
    A

    It is recommended to keep Crossbow Herbicide applications at least a couple feet away from desired grasses and plants.  Additionally, be sure you’re applying the product on a non-windy day, as spray drift can harm desired grasses.  If needed, you can cover desired grasses and plants with plastic sheeting or a garbage bag during your application for added protection.
