Q

Will Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide kill my raspberries in addition to the weeds?
I have maple & cottonwood growing in my raspberry garden. Raspberry garden is in a raised garden bed, so it is small. The 5 trees are embedded within the raspberries; I would really like to have them removed and keep the raspberries. When is the best time to apply the Tordon- now or in the fall?

A

Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is not labeled for use around edible plants, and it would kill the raspberries. You most likely will need to hand-pull the weeds from this area.
