Product Information
Roundup Pro Max is a post-emergent, systemic herbicide with no residual soil activity. It is non-selective and gives broad-spectrum control of many annual weeds, perennial weeds, woody brush and trees. Roundup Pro Max is formulated as a water-soluble containing surfactant and no additional surfactant is needed. Apply through most standard sprayers after dissolution and thorough mixing with water according to label instructions.
Time to Symptoms:
Roundup Pro Max moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact and into the root system. Visible effects on most annual weeds occur within 1 day, and on most perennial weeds in 2 days. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity of this product and delay development of visual symptoms. Visible effects are a quick yellowing of the foliage which advances to complete browning of above-ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts.
Mode of Action:
Tthe active ingredient in Pro Max inhibits an enzyme found only in plants and microorganisms that is essential to formation of specific amino acids.
Cultural Considerations:
Reduced control may result when application is made to annual or perennial weeds that have been mowed, grazed, or cut, and have not been allowed to regrow to the specified stage for treatment.
Rainfastness:
Heavy rainfall soon after application may wash this product off of the foliage and a repeat application may be required for adequate weed control.
Spray Coverage:
Uniform and complete spray coverage will provide best results. Do not spray weed foliage to the point of runoff.
No Soil Activity:
Weeds must be emerged at the time of application to be controlled by Roundup Pro Max. Weeds germinating from seed after application will not be controlled. Plants growing from unattached underground rhizomes or root stocks of perennials that have not yet emerged at the time of application will not be affected by the herbicide and will continue to grow.

Killed the weeds and all the GRASS

It killed all the weeds in a week. Then it killed all the grass. I followed the instructions to the tee. I thought a herbicide kills weeds only. I spent $1000+ reseeding after scraping all the dead grass down, many cubic yards of dirt and grass seed. Let alone many many hours. Be forewarned

a pre-emergent can be applied with Roundup Pro Max. You just need to ensure that it is not too warm for a pre-emergent as they should not be applied when soil temperatures are above 55 degrees. You may also consider Eraser Max Super Concentrate Herbicide which is both a post & pre-emergent non-selective
Roundup Pro Max is labeled only to suppress guineagrass but will not fully control it. Per the product label, the recommended application rate is 2 qts/acre or 1.3 fl oz per gallon of water. View the full product label for more information.
This product can ship to Hawaii but there are additional shipping fees based on destination, size and weight.
And will it avoid killing the other plants that are near the roots/stump?
Roundup Pro Max can be used to kill sissoo tree roots. It is recommended to drill a series of 6-inch-deep holes around the edge of the stump using a 1-inch spade bit extension. Apply with a small paint brush. The roots will die out, killing the stump in the process.
Unfortunately, there are not a lot of products on the market labeled for creeping myrtle (also known as vinca minor and periwinkle flowers) as they are typically considered a desirable plant species. Manual removal methods and herbicide applications with Glyphosate or Triclopyr are effective in eradicating vinca minor/creeping myrtle/periwinkle however it generally takes several seasons to matter which method is used due to the hardiness and roots that extend several feet. For best results, cut stems 1 to 2 inches from the ground and applied when temperatures are between 60 to 85 degrees.
Roundup Pro Max is a non selective herbicide that contains a surfactant for faster burndown and better adhesion to the waxy cuticle on the leaf surfaces. Use precautions if spraying in turfgrass areas or around desirable plants, shrubs, flowers, etc as this will generally kill whatever applied to. Any areas can be reseeded or planted in after 2 weeks.
Triclpopyr Ester when mixed with a non ionic surfactant can be used to treat brush, vines, or woody weeds. DO not use a surfactant with Triclopyr Ester when treating cool season turfgrass.
Alligare Triclopyr 4 is recommended for non crop areas, ornamental turf, rangeland, grass pastures, etc. This is an oil based insecticide labeled for woody plants and perennial and annual broadleaf weeds.
We recommend contacting your Master Gardener Division with the County Extension Office for their recommendations on timing and successful tips they have found in your area.
Visible effects after applying Roundup Pro Max on most annual weeds occur within 1 day, and on most perennial weeds in 2 days.

You could use a glyphosate product such as RoundUp Pro Max for poa annua and other weeds in your Bermuda lawn, but only if the Bermuda grass is entirely dormant. If the grass has started greening at all, then you will need to use a selective herbicide instead. For smaller lawns, Image Kills Nutsedge is a good choice. For larger lawns, we recommend Negate 37WG or Certainty Herbicide.
There is not a recommended pre-emergent that should be used with Roundup Pro Max. However, a product like Hi-Yield Killzall Extended Control may be a better option. This product provides both pre- and post-emergent control of weeds on areas such as sidewalks, fences, driveways, landscape areas, and walkways for 3-6 months when used according to label directions. It should NOT be applied to lawns. If you are targeting weeds in your lawn, please provide your desired turf species (include approx. size area of the lawn) and the targeted weeds for herbicide options that will not kill your turf.

Also, will it kill a tree if it gets in the bark
Roundup Pro Max is labeled to suppress Canada Thistle. It may take a few applications to get complete control of it. We would recommend avoiding any contact with desirable trees to prevent injury.

There's a very overgrown palm tree in my front yard, to the point where trimming it barely makes a dent and there may be an excess of bugs living in it. Would this help to kill the leaves? Could I keep spraying it and see results? Am I able to use a hose sprayer as well for wider coverage?
Roundup Pro Max would not kill the tree just by applying to the leaves. It would be best to cut the palm down and apply to the stump via drilled holes if you do not want to remove it completely. Apply a 50- to 100-percent solution of this product to the freshly cut surface immediately after cutting

Roundup Pro Max rates vary depending on what you are treating for. You would use 0.5 oz up to 9 oz per gallon of water as directed on the product label. You can convert ounces to tablespoons using an online tool.

Has anyone had any success on using this as a post emergence on Poa Annua?
Roundup Pro Max is a non selective herbicide that can pretty much kill anything that is sprayed including nutsedge. Care should be taken to only spray the poa annua if you are treating in your lawn or around desirable plants/edibles.
