    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide kill bamboo?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled  for bamboo, however we have heard 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 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.

    Q
    Can Crossbow Herbicide get rid of tiger day lilies?
    I dug out a large bed of tiger lilies and planted nicer ones where I thought I had cleaned the tiger ones last fall. Now I see the tiger ones reemerging in a few spots. Can I apply this product to get ride of the tiger ones and would it affect the nicer lilies I planted next to them?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide can injure the desirable tiger lilies if contact is make with them through spraying/drift.  It is not labeled to control them so would not be recommended for that purpose.  The best option for spot treating in beds is a non selective herbicide such as Avenger or RoundUp QuikPro, taking care to avoid spraying the ones you don’t want controlled, or you can hand-pull.

    Q
    How long will Crossbow continue to affect my rose bushes which show signs of suffering?
    Crossbow was sprayed at or near the dripline of several of my rose bushes and they now have damaged leaves and young growth, although the bushes are still alive.
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide can continue to affect the roses as long as the roots are absorbing the product.  If they are already affected there is not much you can do to stop the damage and only time can tell if they will recover.

    Grass it growing well from seed power raked airaded seeded fertilized ironed top dressed have clover and very few broadleaf wondering the proper mix for a stihl sg 29 backpack sprayer I want the grass to live but weeks to go
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide should not be used on residential lawns. If you have just seeded and the lawn is not yet well established (at least 4 weeks or 2 mowings, whichever is longer), then you should not apply any herbicides to the new grass. Please let us know where you are located (what state), what kind of turfgrass you have, and how large the lawn is so that we can recommend a product that will fit your needs.

    Crossbow Herbicide is not specifically lableled for asiatic jasmine but it possibly could control it.  Another option is a glyphosate based product like RoundUp QuikPro which can kill anything that it is sprayed on.

    Q
    How soon can I plant grasses and bushes after using Crossbow?
    I cleared a woodland edge of japanese honeysuckle, poison ivy, multiflora rose and other assorted undesirables. I would like to spray to prevent them from returning, but I'd also like to plant big bluestem, persimmon and filbert in 2 months. Is that long enough to wait to plant?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide can persist in the soil for up to 1 year  You must wait one year after an application of Crossbow Herbicide to plant anything in the treated areas.  Otherwise, you can remove and replace the soil with untreated soil.  You will need to wait at least 3 weeks before replanting other plants in areas where Crossbow Herbicide has been applied.  However, keep in mind that excessive amounts of this herbicide in the soil could inhibit seed germination and plant growth.

    Q
    Will Crossbow kill invasive Catalpa trees? If so what is the best method?
    We cut the trees to ground level, sprayed the cut stump, put holes in the center and poured Crossbow in and 6 months later, around each stump, we have the roots at the base of the stump and creating sprouts up to 20 or 30 feet away.
    A

    Helena Crossbow Herbicide does not specifically list Catalpa on the label as a controlled tree.  We would recommend checking directly with Dow to confirm if it is effective for your target tree. You can reach Dow at 800-992-5994.

    Q
    Will Crossbow kill Palmetto?
    I have 2 acres in Florida and a lot of palmetto. Spectracide at its highest dose sprayed 3 to 4 times a year, for 2 years, has helped greatly in a small area. But for 2 acres ... I need something better.
    A

    According to this extension article a product containing triclopyr or 2, 4-d would work on killing palmetto plants. Our Crossbow Specialty Herbicide - 2, 4-D & Triclopyr has both active ingredients and would work just fine. It could take a few applications to fully eradicate.
