  • Asked by Kari from Mcminnville
    07/02/2015
    Q
    The neighbor sprayed Crossbow diluted in their yard and half our birch is yellow and leaves limp, what to do?
    The tree is near the back fence and they sprayed a large area (per the labels instructions they say) 2 foot high x 15 ft weeded overgrowth and I fear it was absorbed by the root base. We gave it a good bath and washed down the root base soil area for a while. Help!!! We love our only 30 ft river birch tree!
    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.  If the tree itself was not sprayed directly there could be another cause for the issue.  It would be best to speak with a local arborist or horticulturalist who is more familiar with any tree issues in your area.

    Q
    Will spraying Crossbow near Soy Beans kill the growing bean plant?
    A
    If Crossbow gets on the soybeans or within the drip line of the soy bean plants it could potentially casue damage or death to the plant. It is important to make sure there is no wind to insure the product does not drift on to the soy beans and also to make sure you are not over spraying and allowing run off to flow on to the plants.

    Q
    Will Crossbow contaminate soil and poison vegetables? How long should I wait to plant a garden?
    I am concerned about the spread as well. I dug up as much of a spreading tree as possible but I need to kill the roots. If I spray directly onto roots and around soil, How long must I wait to plant vegetables?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide will stay in the soil and could veggies for up to 2 years. It's possible you could use Tordon. We recommend to contact Dow 800-992-5994 option 4 the manufacturer of both products for the best one to suit your treatment.

    Q
    If dandelions seed out after spraying Crossbow, will the seeds be viable and continue to spread?
    A

    Yes, that is a possibility since Crossbow Herbicide is a post emergent herbicide.  It does not offer pre emergent properties that would target germinating weeds or seeds.  For a pre emergent for dandelions you could use something like Prodiamine 65 WDG.

    Q
    Have been trying to kill salal for years. How long will it take to kill it completely?
    The last bunch was cut down a month and a half ago and sprouts are coming up everywhere. Do I have to spray just the leaves or will spraying the visible wood work,too? The area is under an old cedar and fir trees. Is there something stronger I can use?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide appears to be an effective product on salal but it can take mulitple applications.  Best way is to either spray the foliage directly or cutting the stumps/sprouts and applying as a “cut stump” as directed on the product label.
