    Q
    will this work for spray application to elm seedlings? rather than pulling them out?
    I have elm seedlings that pop up all over but in areas like decorative rock where mowing them is not an option can I spray and kill them?
    A

    Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide should only be used by those who are trained and familiar with the product. If you need to get rid of elm seedling we would recommend using Bonide Poison Ivy and Brush Killer BK-32 Concentrate instead.

    Q
    Will Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide kill a poison sumac tree if I paint the stump?
    I realize other products might work better, but I have a lot of tordon, so am wondering if this works on poison sumac.
    A

    Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is not labeled for poison sumac or poison ivy which is closely related. If you have it on hand you can try, and hatch at the vines first for better results. Otherwise, we would recommend Bonide Poison Ivy and Brush Killer BK-32 Concentrate
