We recommend using Monterey Sucker Stopper RTU. Many trees produce suckers every spring. Even though you cut them back, the suckers will continue to come back all summer long, which can be very annoying. One application of Sucker-Stopper RTU can prevent this recurrence. Also, after pruning, many trees will put out suckers around the pruning wound. These are very hard to keep under control. One application of Sucker-Stopper RTU after pruning will prevent this. Thoroughly cover the primary wound or where the existing sprouts have been removed. Be sure to treat before new growth suckers are 10 inches in length. The earlier you treat, the better. Control should last about 3 months. As far as visible signs on the shoots, the reactions can vary by hartiness of the shoot and environment surrounding the area.
We would recommend contacting Southern Ag Brush Killer for questions on the affects of the grass surrounding the shrub that was injured as we have not heard of this product turning vegetation black.

Brush Killers are typically used to control trees and woody brush and vines and do not typically work well on plants like Bamboo. You didn't mention which type of bamboo you have as there is clumping and spreading bamboo. Typically what is needed will be to 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 as low to the ground as you can get it, and then apply the Round Up QuickPro immediately to the fresh cuts and drench the plant, and its roots/soil with the chemical. You are welcome to mix in a product like the Southern Ag Brush Killer with the Roundup if you feel this would help in the application results. Due to the fast growing nature of bamboo, and its deep root system, it can take several applications to achieve the desired results.
