  • Asked by Justin from Ames, Ia

    Q
    I live in Iowa and have a mixture of Fescues, Ryegrass, and Bluegrass. How does Crossbow compare to Speedzone?
    I am trying to get rid of creeping Charlie and would like a all-in-one mix for violets, thistle and ground ivy/creeping Charlie. Speed zone seems to be having an issue with the creeping Charlie. I was wondering if this would do a better overall job?
    A

    Crossbow Specialty Herbicide - 2, 4-D & Triclopyr is not labeled to be used on home lawns and would not be safe to use as it could harm the mix of grasses you have.  Speedzone is safe for lawns and labeled for ground ivy and should do a good job on it.

  • Asked by Gloria from Winston, Ga
    08/07/2015
    Q
    Can I use the Crossbow Specialty Herbicide on my fescue lawn to get rid of wild violets and other invasive weeds?
    A

    Crossbow is not supposed to harm established grasses and should pose no threat on your Fescue grass according to the manufacturer.  This being said, we always recommend treating a small area first to test the results as the product is only labeled to be applied on rangeland and permanent grass pastures, but not to residential lawns.  As long as your grass is not stressed by drought and it is healthy the grass will not be harmed.  For applying over grasses, you need to make sure you apply at the recommended levels on the product label.

    We do carry Fertilome Weed Free Zone and it is labeled for wild violet and for use in Fescue lawns.  This product is labeled to be applied to residential lawns and is a little more cost effective as well.

    Q
    Is Crossbow Specialty Herbicide effective on Ilex vomitoria/yaupon?
    taking over the property! Cut it, burn it, pull it out of the ground, and it keeps coming back! It burns like a Christmas tree with diesel on it! Worried about lightning and fires!
    A

    Crossbow Specialty Herbicide is not labeled to control yaupon (Ilex vomitoria). Remedy Ultra Herbicide is labeled for yaupon holly and should do a good job when used as directed on the product label.  Hi-Yield Triclopyr Ester Ultra contains the same active ingredient at a lower cost if smaller areas need treatment.

  • Asked by Steve from Tulsa, Ok
    08/11/2014
    Q
    Is Crossbow Specialty Herbicide 2,4-D & Triclopyr the product you would recommend for aggressive vines?
    Have a variety of ivy and vines and need to kill them and replant later if desired. Presently cannot control.
    A
    Crossbow Specialty Herbicide 2,4-D & Triclopyr is not labeled for vines. Using a product such as Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer gives you a broad range of target weeds, vines and woody brush. For best results when treating vines such as poison oak, poison ivy, etc. that grow on or around desirable plants, cut the vine first and treat by applying undiluted product directly to the stems of the vine using paint brush to get full coverage.  As a foliar treatment, mix 8-16 tablespoons per gallon of water for every 500 sq. Please let us know if we can assist you any further.

  • Asked by Steve from San Diego, Ca
    05/20/2016
    Q
    Will Crossbow Specialty Herbicide kill a large mature ficus tree?
    Ficus out of control, 3 1/2 stories tall dropping lots of nuts and leaves all the time. Need to kill this tree. Will Crossbow work?
    A

    In order to kill a tree that size, you would get the best results cutting the tree down to a stump and treating the fresh cut stump directly. If the trunk diameter is less than 6-8 inches, then you could potentially do a basal bark treatment with Crossbow Specialty Herbicide. You would mix 1.25 to 5 ounces per gallon of solution, mixing in diesel No. 1 or 2 or kerosene, then spraying the basal part of the tree up to a height of 15-20 inches off the ground. If you do not need this much product, then could also use Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer.
