Crossbow Herbcide is a post-emergent herbcide and will only kill the weeds that are actively growing at the time of application. If there are weeds under the soil that have not germinated yet, those weeds will not be affected by Crossbow. To treat weeds that are in the soil that have not germinated, you would need to use a pre-emergent in the spring/late fall before the soil temps reach 55 degrees. Another option is to continue to treat with Crossbow as the weeds emerge.

Crossbow Herbicide 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. The required spray volume will increase substantially if the brush exceeds 5 feet in height. Brush over 8 feet tall is difficult to treat efficiently. Large brush or trees may be controlled better by basal or mechanical methods.

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.

Will Crossbow kill moss in yard or on asphalt?

A

Crossbow Herbicide will not control moss on any surface. For moss in the yard you could use Lilly Miller Moss Out for Lawns. For the asphalt you would use Lilly Miller Moss Out Heavy Duty Cleaner. Unfortunately there is not one product that could control moss in both areas.
