    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
    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.

    Q
    Can I use Crossbow Herbicide to get rid of broadleaf weeds and clover on my lawn?
    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.

    I'm having a heck of a time getting rid of Asiatic Jasmine. Any product advice?
    A

    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.
