  • Asked by Sheila
    04/25/2011
    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.

    03/30/2015
    Q
    After Crossbow is mixed with water, does it have a shelf life limit?
    A
    Like with most liquid concentrates, we recommend that you only mix when you are ready to spray. Crossbow should be used within 24 hours of mixing. You should then rinse your equipment throuoghly. This will also prevent any damage in the long run to your sprayer. The storage shelf life of Crossbow Herbicide is 3-5 years if stored in a area that does not allow the product to freeze or reach over 80 degrees.

    Q
    How long should I wait to plant flowers after using Crossbow Herbicide?
    We cut down over grown 20 year old brush and weeds a week ago. We sprayed the entire area with crossbow (not even thinking about our new plants) and now I'm to afraid to plant my new plants and flower. To much money to waste on them just to die. :( what's the recommended time to wait before planting new plants and flowers?!
    A
    Do not reseed treated areas for a minimum of 3 weeks following an application of Crossbow Herbicide. However, keep in mind that excessive amounts of this herbicide in the soil could inhibit seed germination and plant growth.
